How will our agricultural sector keep pace with the needs of a rising global middle class in urban areas? Future demand for food, especially protein, would appear to make agriculture a solid investment. Yet, this global drive to feed city dwellers can also add complexity to food production while straining natural resource systems.
Urbanization means that formerly productive agricultural land must be converted to commercial and residential areas, putting more pressure on remaining arable land. In some regions, this results in water scarcity, erosion and other problems. Notably, in Brazil, the demand for arable land comes with the threat of deforestation .Urban infrastructure is integral to a city’s growth and productivity, yet it is often taken for granted as it vies with other budget priorities for funding.
