Sustainability and animal welfare are transformative investments for the future of animal agriculture and food production as we look ahead to 2050.

Nearly 12 years ago, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) issued a riveting report stating it will be necessary to produce 70% more food by 2050 to feed the growing global population that is expected to reach 9.7 billion people.

During the last decade, the expectation to increase the volume of food, ensure greater food security, and improve the sustainability of food production has not varied, and the future forecast is not likely to change.

As we look ahead, there is no doubt that the global poultry industry, specifically the broiler sector, is a viable solution for this challenge.
