An increasing population
         is the strongest challenge
       t produce
       to     d    nott only
                          l more ffood

                   but also
        more plant-derived products

According to FAO, the world agrarian production
           should duplicate for 2050
to guarantee food for a world population of about
            9.000 million inhabitants
