"Increases in food production, per hectare of land, have not kept pace with increases in population, and the planet has virtually no more arable land or fresh water to spare. As a result, per-capita cropland has fallen by more than half since 1960, and per-capita production of grains, the basic food, has been falling worldwide for 20 years." (WORLD WATCH) This article reveals the challenges facing the agricultural system as it struggles to meet the needs of an expanding population.
