3. “In addition, the latest FAO annual report The State of Food and Agriculture
indicates that women represent 43% of the agricultural workforce in the
developing countries (50% in sub-Saharan Africa). But they have less access to
production resources and opportunities. If we were to close this male-female
gap, women’s output could increase by 20 to 30%, which would have a positive
impact on the agricultural production of developing countries of 2.5 to 4%.
This would lead to a reduction in number of hungry people of 12 to 17% per
year, or 100 to 150 million people.
Current trends in changing diets are expected to continue with high
urbanization. By 2050, urban areas should account for 70% of the world’s
population. The trends should accelerate with the rapid improvement of
average living standards in emerging countries. Demand for meat doubled
between 1980 and 2005, while that for eggs increased fourfold. This change in
diet will prompt greater world demand for cereals, as it takes 7 kilograms of
animal feed to produce 1 kilogram of beef, and 2.5 kilograms of feed to
produce 1 kilogram of poultry meat.”

of the United Nations (FAO)
