The global issue

Ensure food and nutritional security for the world population whilst maintaining the balance of the planet. Access to food is a real challenge as nearly one billion people remain under-fed despite the planet producing enough for everyone. A response will have to be found to the expected increase in the world population during the century.

Beyond the problems of quantity, food quality is a major issue in terms of health. This involves combating malnutrition in the southern countries as well as diseases of abundance (obesity, cardiovascular diseases and cancer). 

The three-pronged approach of training-research-innovation must help to improve the technologies and methods of organizing food sectors and also propose alternatives that meet the objectives of sustainable development, especially with a view to saving energy and materials. 

In addition, the sustainability of food systems must take account of the change in lifestyles from urbanisation: 54% of the world population live in urban areas, a proportion expected to rise to 66% in 2050 (World Urbanisation Prospects, UN, edition 2014).
