Let’s bring biology back to create balanced, secure and resilient food systems

How can we feed more people while respecting our planet?

Our food systems have achieved the impressive feat of feeding billions for decades. Now, as we look toward a world of 10 billion people by 2050, billions lack access to basic nutrition and one third of food is lost or wasted. How can we nourish everyone while working within nature’s limits?

Biology has always been a fundamental part of creating food – and today it holds the potential to transform every step of our journey.

Let’s rethink every step
of the food value chain

It’s how our food moves from farm to table – our vast, interwoven food systems. A change in one area ripples through the entire chain. By rethinking each step, from soil health to food preservation, we can find new ways to make the whole system feed more while restoring balance to our ecosystems. Journey through each step of the food chain with us.

_{^{Step 1: Soil Health}}
Building soil health and resilience

Farmers are on the front lines of our food systems challenges. Every year, they need to coax more from their fields while confronting extreme weather events like floods and droughts. Meanwhile, chemical-based pesticides have helped deplete soil of its inherent nutrients and resilience. All this leads to lower yields and economic uncertainty – but biology is helping crack the code to healthier soils.

How can farmers build soil health and resilience to help strengthen crops, boost yields and secure their livelihoods?

_{^{Step 2: Protein Production}}
Meeting growing protein demand, efficiently

Protein consumption is projected to rise more than 50% by 2050 and current protein production methods are reaching their limits. Animal agriculture requires significant amounts of land, water and feed, while cultivation of protein-rich crops demands extensive water and fertilizer use. Improved animal and crop health are parts of the answer, along with new sources of protein that diversify our protein options – and biology can make all of this possible.

How can we create new sources and production methods that reduce strain on our natural resources and ecosystems?

_{^{Step 3: Food Manufacturing}}
More food with less resources and less waste

Food manufacturers face a slew of mounting pressures: rising costs, resource scarcity and evolving consumer expectations. Every product requires a delicate balance of ingredients, energy, water, and time – all of which are becoming more expensive and less predictable. Increasing demands for natural ingredients, fewer chemical inputs and less wasteful practices further heightens the need for smarter processing – and biology has the solutions.

How can food makers optimize production while using fewer resources and reducing waste?

Between March 2023 and March 2024, food production costs surged by an average of 9%

_{^{Step 4: Food Access}}
Securing access to healthier food

Around the world, we have a growing nutrition divide. While enough food is produced to feed everyone, 2 billion people still lack regular access to safe, nutritious food. This divide manifests differently across regions, from basic food scarcity in some areas to an abundance of calorie-rich but nutrient-poor options in others. The challenge goes beyond simply producing more food – and biology can lead the way.

How can we create delicious, nutritious and affordable food options that reach every table in every community?

Together, let’s bring biology back

The food systems transformation isn’t a distant vision, it’s happening today – and the biosolutions are here, ready to make impact at scale. But no single innovation can solve our food challenges alone. Transforming food systems requires collaboration across the entire value chain – regulators, farmers, scientists, producers, innovators, retailers and solution providers.

When we all work together, we secure a pathway toward a brighter food future. That’s how we create systemic change. And when we rely on biology, there is (almost) no food challenge that can’t be solved. Let’s bring biology back to create a balanced, secure and resilient food future.
