Humanity is currently consuming more natural resources than it can regenerate.
Challenges
10% of the world population suffers from hunger and malnutrition
50 % of the earth’s habitable land is already used for agriculture
30 % of the food currently grown goes to waste somewhere in the production and delivery process.
80 % more food will be required for humanity by 2100
72% of all water withdrawals are used by agriculture
60% - 75% of global deforestation, habitat and biodiversity loss is due to agriculture
Small-scale agriculture, artisanal and small-scale mining depend on each other to thrive and compete for infrastructure, land, water and labor, sometimes resulting in environmental damage.
In addition, in many countries, the opacity of the supply chain leads to mineral tax evasion that exceeds the total amount of development aid.
