Abstract
Food security is of vital importance for human existence. Yet, global food production has huge environmental impacts which increasingly threaten food security. Today, food production occupies around 40% of all ice-free land surface, contributes about 25x0025; of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, and is the largest driver of deforestation. Moreover, it accounts for about 70% of the Earth’s freshwater withdrawals and is driving nitrogen and phosphorus eutrophication and acidification of the Earth’s ecosystems.
