Gulf Times – Qatar’s top-selling English daily newspaper - Opinion: "The world food demand is projected to increase more than two-fold in the next four decades. The challenges ahead to achieve food security for all and deliver the more than sixty year old Universal Right to Food are formidable. Today there are a billion people living everyday wit chronic hunger. Land degradation, rising water scarcities and declines in agricultural productivity are rampant in many parts of the world.
Unlike the efforts that mobilised the 1970s Green Revolution that resulted in more than doubling of the world food production, today there is a lack of public sector commitment to invest in agricultural research, essential for new and sustainable green-enhanced crop productivity - and a blue-efficient water use - revolution."
