Title Global food sustainability needed to avoid catastrophic damage to the planet Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet SciMex- Australian Science Media Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 200 words Country/Territory Australia Date 17/01/19 Description An estimated 10 billion people will call the planet home by 2050 and we're likely to cause irrevocable damage if we do not transform the way we eat and produce food, and reduce our food waste, say international and Australian researchers. We will have to reduce our meat and sugar intake by around 50 per cent, they say, as well as doubling our intake of nuts, fruits, veggies and legumes. An attached editorial author adds that these changes will also address the urgent health issues associated with the current western diet, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
