Global Population - The Reality
At Trouw Nutrition, we are dedicated to supporting both our
customers and the planet. By working with us, you can help accelerate the
transition towards a truly sustainable food system and create a brighter future
we all hope for, from planet to plate.
The Reality Report – Future
According to the United
Nations, it took hundreds of thousands of years for the world population to
grow to 1 billion – then in just another 200 years or so, it grew sevenfold. In
2011, the global population reached the 7 billion mark, it stands at almost 7.9
billion in 2021, and it's expected to grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7
billion in 2050, and 10.9 billion in 2100.
These megatrends
have far-reaching implications. They affect economic development, employment,
income distribution, poverty, and social protections. They also affect efforts
to ensure universal access to health care, education, housing, sanitation,
water, food, and
energy. To address the needs of individuals, policymakers must understand how
many people are living more sustainably on the planet, where they are, how old
they are, and how many people will come after them.
Projections now show
the world is not on track to achieve Sustainable
Development Goal 2, Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some
progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition
targets. The latest edition of that report, which was published mid-2021,
estimated that between 720 and 811 million people went hungry in 2020. High
costs and low affordability also mean billions cannot eat healthily or
nutritiously. Considering the middle of the projected range (768 million), 118
million more people were facing hunger in 2020 than in 2019 – or as many as 161
million, considering the upper bound of the range.
Together with our
parent company, Nutreco, and our sister division, Skretting, we believe we can
drive a transformation in how our industry operates. We can guide milk, egg and
meat farmers towards a circular agriculture system that uses land and resources
more sustainably - helping feed the growing population and at the same time
building trust between people in our farming communities and our cities. With a
presence in all stages of the value chain – including operations focused on
animal nutrition, sustainable animal production, processing, and distribution –
we bring unique insights and reliable experience to this challenge.
