Photo lucalocatelliphoto / A view of an ultra high-tech hydroponic tomato jungle in the Netherlands. Thanks to quality seeds, LED lighting, sensors, and more, the greenhouse can produce, per hectare, ten times the quantity of traditional cultivation methods—with about 90% less water. The planet must produce more food in the next four decades than farmers have harvested over the past 8,000 years. That’s because by 2050, the Earth will be home to as many as 10 billion people, up from today’s 7.8 billion. If massive increases in agricultural yield are not achieved, matched by massive decreases in the use of water and fossil fuels, a billion or more people may face starvation. For more than 12 years, my work has focused on visualizing solutions for the future—and hopefully triggering a change of mindset.
