Analysis of Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Varieties in Eastern Zambia (2015, unknown): “It is estimated that over 55% of the daily caloric intake is derived from maize, with an average consumption of about 85–140 kg per year (Sitko et al ., 2011).”
Root anatomy and soil resource capture (2021, background): “These challenges are intensifying because of population growth, soil degradation, depletion of freshwater resources, and global climate change (Oldeman 1992; St. Clair and Lynch 2010; Mbow et al. 2019).”
Enhancing wheat production- A global perspective (2015, background): “The biggest gains will come from combinations of improved crops and improved agronomical practices (Fan et al. 2012).”
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults (2024, background): “64,65 Our results show that this need cannot be considered in isolation, because the underweight–obesity transition can occur rapidly, leaving their combined burden unchanged or higher.”

The political economy of food systems reform (2017, background): “Warnings by international institutions that global agricultural production would need to increase by 60 per cent by 2050 to satisfy rising demand (FAO, 2013) were soon picked upon by the global industry: citing a global population of 9 billion in 2050, Monsanto argues: ‘To feed everyone, we’ll need ”
