Videos from IPNI Moving Ahead in South Asia - agriculture and food security in the world today Agriculture and food security are the top most priorities in the world today. An estimated 925 million people around the world, almost 1/6 of humanity, are suffering from hunger. More than 30% of the undernourished people of the world live in just seven countries. The current global population of 6.7 billion is expected to stabilize at 9.2 billion by 2050. This raises the question whether the improvements of food production will be able to match the population growth in a sustainable manner until 2050. Use of commercial fertilizer is responsible for 40-60% of the world's food production. Future intensification of production systems will require further increase in fertilizer use. This must be done in an environmentally safe manner. “The Right Way to Grow…4R Nutrient Stewardship” is an 11-minute, 23 second video which gives an overview of the 4Rs and explains how the concept can apply to large-scale agriculture in developed countries and also to small-holder farms in less developed regions. Through graphics and field scenes, the presentation provides more insight for further understanding of the 4Rs. “The Right Way to Grow Wheat…4R Nutrient Stewardship” is a separate video which runs 8 minutes 5 seconds and specifically addresses the economic, environmental, and social goals of sustainable agricultural systems needed to meet global demand for wheat. As a staple in almost all human diets, additional wheat production will be needed in the future to help feed rapidly growing populations. Some programs are also available on DVD and may be purchased from IPNI at US$10.00 each, plus shipping.
