There has been rapid growth in the global population over the last century and estimates for 2050 are a global population of over 9billion. These mouths need to be fed and the nutritional quality of the food received will be a key determinant of future health. Alongside this expansion in the world's population, rapid economic growth in China, India and South America is increasing demand for protein-rich foods, especially meat and dairy products, causing concern about the impact this may have on green house gas emissions. As economies strengthen and dietary and lifestyle patterns become more westernised, the so-called diseases of affluence are becoming ever more evident, often alongside malnutrition. This paper considers these challenges and the need to embed thinking about nutrition into discussions about sustainability of the food supply.
在上个世纪，全球人口迅速增长，据估计到 2050 年，全球人口将超过 90 亿。这些人需要食物，他们所获得的食物的营养质量将是未来健康的关键决定因素。随着世界人口的增长，中国、印度和南美洲的经济快速增长，对富含蛋白质的食物的需求也在增加，特别是肉类和奶制品，这引起了人们对这可能对温室气体排放产生的影响的关注。随着经济的加强和饮食及生活方式变得更加西方化，所谓的富贵病也越来越明显，通常伴随着营养不良。本文考虑了这些挑战，以及有必要将营养问题纳入对食品供应可持续性的讨论。
