The efficiency of agricultural production needs to be further improved to secure food supplies as the world’s population grows, but resources continue to dwindle – Nagy István, Minister of Agriculture said at the Global Food and Agriculture Forum (GFFA) in Berlin on Saturday.

At a meeting during the International Green Week (IGW), the minister said that by the middle of the century, the world’s population could reach 10 billion, while arable land would decrease by 40 percent and drinking water supplies by 30 percent. (MTI)
