While the world looks forward to feeding 10 billion people in 2050, New Agricultural Framework is needed to ensure world food supplies in a largely effective manner. Projecting past agricultural practices into the future offers a recipe for failure; in this respect, building robust Inter-Sectoral Partnerships, ensuring proper Management, promoting Operational Research alongside Scaling-up Innovations towards Industrial Applications, and increasing the efficiency of Natural Resources through adopting new practices and technologies for land, energy and water conservation is an urgent need to secure Sustainable Food Systems for many decades to come.
