39. The Borlaug Report
Feeding 9 billion people
“Perhaps the World Food Prize could be the place where
people gather each year to share concretely what they’ve
accomplished, what went well, and what didn’t work.”
-Sylvia Burwell, 2008
Are we on Track?
What Are the Trend Lines?
40. Kenneth G. Cassman
Daugherty Professor of
Agronomy of University of
Nebraska–Lincoln
“As we gather during the Centennial
Anniversary of Dr. Borlaug’s birth,
and as populations continue to rise, the
question is whether current trends in
food production will adequately
provision a stable population of 9-10
billion in a world with a changing
climate and provide us with
sustainable fresh water resources and
acceptable environmental quality.
Unfortunately, the answer is NO! ”
