According to FAO projections for food production in 2015 will be 60% higher than the levels in 2005/07. From the other site population could increase by 2050 more than 2 bilion people from 2012 levels reaching 9.15 billion in 2050.

Althought growth has been achieved during the last years in the food production a critical problem is the under-nutrition in several regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa.

This means that the two parameters that have to be taken into account in the analysis of the Report are:

1) Food production growth,

2) Population growth.

for the following trends:

a) food security and nutrition;

b) access to land and natural resources;

c) agricultural production and productivity increases;

d) economic development;

e) the healt of the environment and ecosystems, including climate chage and biodiversity.

Projections in the Report should be based to the historical numbers of the two up stated parameters and to be analysed accordingly. This analysis will provide the assurance that the outcome and conclusions of the Report will be of high quality and accurate.
