The global population crosses 7.7 billion, increasing pressure on food, water, and energy resources. Most people are living in urban areas, and this poses several challenges; food security will be a severe issue for the future of citizens.
The way we have been producing food was adequate but not sustainable in the long run. We created large food hubs that distribute food across the globe.
