Creating a Sustainable Food Future, Installment Three: Achieving Replacement Level Fertility

Tim Searchinger, Craig Hanson, Richard Waite, Brian Lipinski, Sarah Harper, George Leeson

Working Paper: July, 2013

The United Nations projects that world population will rise from just over 7 billion in 2012 to nearly 9.6 billion by 2050. This paper examines the nature of the population challenge globally, the effect of population growth on food demand in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the potential benefits―in terms of food security, economic growth, and environment―of reducing fertility levels more quickly than currently projected. This paper then explores promising, non-coercive approaches for reducing fertility rates.

This is the third installment in the series that forms the foundation of the “World Resources Report 2013-14: Creating a Sustainable Food Future.”
