for a sustainable future of food and agriculture.
The journey begins on World Food Day 2024
As the world’s populations grows, so does demand on our food system to nourish everyone. To meet increasing demand for both current and future generations, it’s essential that we shape sustainable and resilient food production systems. That starts with understanding the complex journey that our food takes from farm to table.
We spoke with the next generation about that journey, and why we must act now to future-proof our systems.
Securing Tomorrow’s Food Systems Today
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization celebrates World Food Day to highlight the urgent need for sustainable, resilient and inclusive food systems, as a key priority to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for generations to come.
As our global population rises and climate change intensifies, the way we produce, distribute and consume food will determine our ability to meet the food needs of tomorrow.
Technology, innovation and collaboration across the food value chain are key levers for stable and adaptable food systems in the face of global challenges such as climate change and a growing population.
The choices we make today – about farming, food policies, and consumption – will directly shape the future of both people and the planet.
At LDC, we believe that future-proofing our food systems means making them:
Sustainable
Resilient
Inclusive
Charting a Course for a Sustainable Global Agrifood System

“Future-proofing our food system isn’t just an environmental or social responsibility—it’s an imperative that affects every actor and stakeholder in food value chains – from farmers to end-consumers.”
