The Future Food

The future of food:

How can we feed 2.5 billion more people likely to be alive in 2050? Our production of food should be increased. We have already invented new methods to boost our production but they are not enough . Agricultural land is also decreasing day by day as cities 

are spreading . 

 Food, farm and water technologists will have to find new ways to grow more crops in places that until now were hard or impossible to farm. It may need a total rethink over how we use land and water. So enter a new generation of radical farmers, novel foods and bright ideas.

ALGAE:

             A large amounts of farmland isn't required to grow algae. Just switch to commercial algae farms . They are single cell organisms that can grow easily at sea , polluted water and other such places.

           Research shows that they are eatable after few stages of processing and they are the cheapest food available for the future. They provide essential components to our body such as sugars, fats and oils. They are able to fulfill energy requirement of our body.

           Algae are at bottom of food chain but they are already eaten widely in japan and china in the form of sea weeds. They are also used as fertilizers, soil conditioners and animal feed.They are eaten by everything from tiniest shrimp to the great blue whales. 

"They are the base of all lives and must be the future." says Edwards.
