By the year 2050, The Earth is expected to be populated by 9.000 million people. To be able to feed them, expert say that food production should increase by 60%. The ground area dedicated to this purpose should increase by 12% but this becomes a huge problem that needs to be dealt with if we do not want to further affect environmentally sensitive areas while fighting starvation.<br />
