Today, 1.02 billion people worldwide are undernourished. The global human population is set to increase from 6.7 billion to 9 billion by 2050, with the majority of the increase in developing countries. At the same time, demand for fresh water and agricultural land is rising and global trends towards unsustainable Western meat and dairy-based diets are increasing. The effects of climate change are also threatening food production in some already vulnerable areas of the world. Clearly changes need to be made in order to ensure future global food security and provide for those who even now are not being fed.

Amanda Baker says the planet cannot feed us all if we rely upon farming other animals. She will outline how stock-free organic farming works, and how it is already proven to be sustainable.

Amanda will argue that the global animal farming industry is a food destruction system & will also look at how stock-free organic farming can help us fight global climate change.
