全球人口到2050年预期达到90亿人，专家指出粮食产量必须翻番才能满足需求。但怎么提高粮食产量呢？

关键在于对农业生产进行简便、明智的投入。今天，我们掌握着科学、创新和技术，能为保障未来粮食供给提供可持续的解决方案。

美国一直在发挥主导作用，发掘农业生产的潜力，以减轻饥饿和营养不良。2010年，欧巴马总统发起了保障未来粮食供给（ Feed the Future）行动计划，力争在19个需求最迫切的国家改善农业发展和粮食安全。

保障未来粮食供给行动计划帮助小农户，特别是妇女，获取提高作物产量所需的工具和技术。该计划同公司企业、高等院校和非政府组织共同努力，正在全世界最贫困的一些社区打破饥饿循环。

• 在孟加拉国，农民利用经过改进的肥料、稻米品种及管理方式，提高了稻米产量，最高可达20%。
• 在塞内加尔，抗旱种子及更有效的管理技巧的引入帮助农民将玉米产量提高了一倍。
• 在洪都拉斯，价值高的作物的销售额提高了125%，帮助4300多个家庭达到贫困线以上。

  Almost a billion people go hungry every day, and the consequences are enormous. Hunger can be deadly — malnutrition leaves the hungry especially vulnerable to diseases. Hunger also costs countries $450 billion a year in lost gross domestic product.

  With the global population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, experts say food production will need to double in order to meet demand. But how?

  The answer lies in simple, smart investments in agricultural production. Today, we have the science, innovation and technology to create sustainable solutions to feed the future.

  The United States has been a leader in unlocking the potential of agriculture to reduce hunger and malnutrition. In 2010, President Obama launched the Feed the Future initiative to improve agricultural development and food security in 19 of the neediest countries.

  Feed the Future helps small farmers, particularly women, access the tools and technologies they need to increase crop yields. Together with businesses, universities and nongovernmental organizations, the program is breaking the cycle of hunger in some of the world’s poorest communities.

  • In Bangladesh, the use of improved fertilizer, rice varieties and management practices has helped farmers increase rice yields by up to 20 percent.
  • Farmers in Senegal were able to double their maize yields with the introduction of drought-tolerant seeds and better management techniques.
  • More than 4,300 Honduran families are now above the poverty line, in part due to a 125 percent rise in high-value crop sales.
