Changing food together


CHANGING FOOD TOGETHER | THE 10 BILLION CHALLENGE

As the world will soon be home to 10 billion people, we simply can’t keep
producing food the way we do today. Changing the global food system requires a
very wide range of actors in society to work together and form circular
partnerships. This is the 10 Billion Challenge Initiative.

In just 30 years, the world’s population is expected to increase by 2 billion
people. By the next turn of the century, we will have peaked at around 10.4
billion.

By then, seven out of ten of us will live in a city somewhere – a seismic shift
compared to today, when half the world still lives in the countryside. That
means less farmland and more demand for food.

So here is the elephant in the room: How will ten billion people eat? How will
the global food systems adapt to meet the needs of the citizens of the earth,
without wrecking the earth itself?




THE PROBLEM WITH FOOD

Our ways of feeding ourselves already cause growing problems. Agriculture is
responsible for a third of global climate emissions. The amount of food that
simply goes to waste could feed 1.26 billion people every year, but ends up
aggravating those emissions instead. Fertiliser nutrients like phosphorus and
nitrogen are crucial to food production but are sourced in unsustainable ways
and often end up in waterways, causing eutrophication.

Among the Planetary Boundariesdefined by scientists, nutrient overload is the
one where we are already the deepest into red territory, meaning a very high
risk of irreversible damage to the planet. Same thing when they take into
account how human lives are affected: Ill-advised use and production of
phosphorus and nitrogen cause more grief today than climate change or
diminishing access to water.

Toxic, algae-infected water, fishery collapse, and wider environmental
degradation have followed. But the problems go beyond eutrophication.




THROWING AWAY PRECIOUS NUTRIENTS

Outdated wastewater treatment, even in the richest countries, is responsible not
only for damage to people and planet, but also for the continuous wasting of
these crucial nutrients. Keep in mind that without them, crops would be half of
what they are today and hunger would skyrocket.

 * We throw away the plentiful phosphorus from our sewers, supplying agriculture
   with new phosphorus from increasingly depleted mines instead. By 2100, the
   only known phosphorus reserve left in the world will be in Morocco (Western
   Sahara). Those mines are tainted with high levels of uranium and cadmium, and
   the extraction exposes local communities to harmful mining waste and human
   rights abuse.
 * We release nitrogen back into the atmosphere at wastewater facilities, while
   producing new nitrogen fertiliser using a century-old method responsible for
   nearly one percent of global climate emissions.

And 2.4 billion people aren’t sure of having enough to eat. (Ironically, many of
them live in countries where most of the food is actually produced.)

> Keep in mind that without phosphorus and nitrogen, crops would be half of what
> they are today.

All these existing challenges will grow as the world’s population grows. This is
why we launch the 10 Billion Challenge Initiative.

The initiative aims to gather businesses, innovators, and entrepreneurs from the
entire global food system and showcase the solutions they bring to the table. It
will demonstrate how circular partnerships can promote sustainable food
production and reduce the risk of overshooting planetary boundaries. We want to
accelerate change, scale circular models, and create synergies that reward
innovative companies.

> We want to accelerate change, scale circular models and create synergies that

At the environmental company Ragn-Sells, our contribution lies in developing
circular solutions for key nutrients. We offer technology for producing clean
phosphorus from sewage, and for capturing nitrogen instantly applicable on
farmland instead of releasing it back into the air. We turn fish poop from
aquaculture into energy and fertiliser, enabling sustainable expansion of a
valuable protein source without increased pressure on marine environments, and
extract potassium from the ashes from waste incineration.




FROM MEGACITIES TO URBAN MINES

We want to see every wastewater treatment plant turned into a resource plant. A
factory for raw materials from urban waste, not the end of the pipe where we
handle the dirty stuff to keep cities from smelling bad. From this viewpoint,
the expanding megacities offer enormous opportunity: Urban mines, containing a
nearly endless supply of safe fertiliser nutrients that have already been
sourced. Finally, cities will contribute to the food production outside their
limits and be part of the loop. The more we tap into these rich, renewable
mines, the better for everyone today, as well as for future generations.

But we bring only one piece of the jigsaw. We know that many companies all
around the food world are working hard to find solutions to the unsustainable
situation. If we are serious about feeding the planet with 10 billion people on
it, many players need to come together and fundamentally change how food is
grown, distributed, and cleaned up.

We believe that companies working on new technology have a role to play in this,
as well as banks and other investors who enable the development and distribution
of these methods. We need food producers, grocery store chains, wholesalers, and
consumer organisations to apply their power in the same direction, paving the
way for large circular loops. International organisations and local governments
can facilitate trade and remove barriers to innovative technology. There are
many, many others.

If we succeed in tackling the food challenge, we will contribute to solving many
other sustainability issues in the process. This is entirely possible. But we
have to do it together.

This is the 10 Billion Challenge Initiative.
