A growing population: the global population is set to increase by 1.2 billion by 2030 and 2 billion by 2050, while the middle class will more than double to 4.9 billion by 2030

A growing middle class fuels demand for increased food and protein production, which in turn drives demand for grain to support growth

Fewer arable acres per capita means that products need to continue to maximise farmer yields; arable land is expected to decrease from half an acre per person today to less than one- third of an acre per person by 2050
