The European Commission announced on the 16 October 2014 that global demand for food was expected to increase by 70% by 2050, while a steep increase in biomass use would also put pressure on agriculture. Feeding the world without damaging the environment was the focus of World Food Day 2014 – and the goal of several EU-funded research projects. The EU was investing over €4 billion in research and innovation for a European bioeconomy that made the most of our renewable biological resources. Agriculture was a key component, securing food production, ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources, and supporting development in rural areas. |
