SUSTAINABLE

2050 Food Shortage or Food Surplus?

There is enough food to adequately feed everyone in

the world. It is estimated that the world’s population
will grow by another two billion people in the next
30 years. A greater proportion of people will live in
urban areas, and it is estimated that almost one in
seven people will go hungry. If we want to stop the
number of hungry people from increasing, we will
need improvements in food production, new sources
of food, better aid programs, and different attitudes
to food consumption and waste.
 Plumpy-nut

In 2005 a revolutionary approach to treating malnutrition

called Plumpy’nut was released. It is a sweet, edible paste
made of peanut butter, vegetable oils, powdered milk, sugar,
vitamins and minerals. It is easy to prepare, cheap, needs no
cooking, refrigeration or added water and has a shelf life of
two years. It is specially formulated to help malnourished
children regain body weight quickly, because malnutrition
leads to stunting of growth, brain impairment, frailty and
attention deficit disorder in children under two years of age.
Plumpy’nut is not a miracle cure for hunger or for
malnutrition; it only treats extreme food deprivation, mainly
associated with famines and conflicts.
