How to feed more people with fewer resources? — Concept III
This is part IV of the series about innovation for sustainable solutions in food productions. Read part I, part II and part III.
The possibility of keeping up uninterrupted cold chains during transport led to food production being located farther and farther from consumers. Cities became more dependent on their surrounding regions and a culture of heavy food imports emerged.
Nowadays, new ways of producing food have been steadily refined/developed to a point where we are starting to see pioneers of new food production settling right amongst our increasingly densely populated cities. …

This is part III of the series about innovation for sustainable solutions in food productions. Read part I and part II of the series.
Looking at how to feed more people with fewer resources more sustainably, we’ve taken everything around into consideration and defined five areas of innovation in not only agriculture but also food production and consumption as a whole (read our previous article). Our second concept addresses our thinking: how can we make food a priority again? Not just concerning awareness of quality, but also of its production and background?
Here’s why and how: Track your veggies! Be informed about what you eat from the second it’s planted until it lands on your plate and thereby gain back awareness of what food really means. …
Current challenges and opportunities for food production and agriculture.

How to feed more people with fewer resources?
The number of people to feed is increasing rapidly whilst the soil productivity of our earth is in dramatic decline. (read our previous article). How to address this problem? Here is our first idea: AI managed permacultures. The biological diversity of permaculture is hardly manageable for one farmer. But still a doable job for an AI and automated machinery. Here’s why and how:
Modern industrialized agriculture turns out to be quite inefficient after all. The vast monocultures dominating rural areas lack the resilience that biologically diverse ecosystems have to keep pests away and the soil fruitful. …
