需要更高效的食品系统

       GLOBAL - Increasing competition for natural resource and emerging resource bottlenecks mean that global agriculture can no longer operate using a "business as usual" approach – the input-intensive agricultural development model used for the past 40 years is no longer sustainable, and a "paradigm shift" in food production is needed, said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture.

    The topic of the forum, held in Berlin as part of Green Week observances, is The Growing Demand for Food, Raw Materials and Energy: Opportunities for Agriculture, Challenges for Food Security?"Business as usual would mean a huge and simultaneous increase in the need for food, energy and water in the next decades: 60 per cent more food, 50 per cent more energy and 40 per cent more water by 2050," Mr Graziano da Silva said during his remarks.FAO estimates point to the need to increase food production by 60 per cent by 2050 to feed a population that will top the nine billion mark.

　　全球——自然资源日益激烈的竞争和新兴资源瓶颈意味着全球农业可以不再使用“一切照旧”的方法——用于过去的40年里的“投入-集约”农业发展模式不再是可持续的,需要粮食生产的“范式转换”，粮农组织总干事穆José Graziano da Silva说。

　　作为绿色星期仪式的一部分, 在柏林举行全球粮食和农业论坛的主题，日益增长的食品、原材料和能源需求,对农业来说是机会，或者对粮食安全方面来说是挑战?“一切照旧将意味着巨大的,同步的对食物、能源和水的需求的增加,在未来几十年中:需要60%更多的食物,到2050年,超过50%的能源和40%的水“Graziano da Silva先生在他的言论中说。粮农组织估计，粮食产量需要增加60%，才能养活2050年将突破九十亿大关的人口。
