Feeding the world’s ever-growing population is a significant challenge. The United Nations projects that global population will grow from today’s 8.1 billion to 9.7 billion by 2050, with growth concentrated in developing countries. The growing middle-class populations in developing countries within Africa and Asia result in more calorie per capita consumption in general and specifically a growth in demand for animal proteins. Both of these factors increase the demand for agri-commodities as feed for animals. A growing part of the world’s population are in areas that have highly limited agricultural potential and require systems in place to provide a steady in-flow of food products. Urban expansion, global warming, and corrupted farmland contribute to a steady decrease in fertile agricultural land needed to grow grains and legumes (pulses) that are the building blocks of nutrition. POPULATION GROWTH GROWING DEMAND FOR ANIMAL FEED ARID GEOGRAPHIES DIMINISHING AGRICULTURE LAND 8 THE CASE FOR AGRI- COMMODITIES The demand for food and feed is projected to grow significantly through the end of the century. This demand will place stress on the global food supply chain. Sadot Group sees significant growth potential in providing sustainable solutions to address the world’s food security issues.
