demand for better food• The current high prices are an indicator• Meat consumption expected to increase rapidly (1 unit

needs 5 units of crop output)

Choice to increase production of food, fibre and feed to meet demand?

• Bring more land under cultivation• Reduce wastages – Storage & transportation• Develop & deliver suitable improved agronomic practices• Improve per unit of resources i.e. land & Water •Integrate livestock & Agriculture
