For 10,000 years farmers have produced food for mankind. That has been the basis of life. This special report has argued that over the next 40 years farmers will find it harder to produce enough for everyone because of constraints on land, water and fertilisers. There is some room for expansion onto virgin land, but not much. There is less water because of competition from fast-growing cities. Returns on fertiliser use are diminishing. And government policies that boost biofuels and restrict trade will get in the way. But though not easy, it should be perfectly possible to feed 9 billion people by 2050.
