It was only 11 years ago that the world reached the last billion; these milestones generate considerations of resource allocation, food security, climate change, and more. Already, one in nine people can\u2019t get enough to eat every day, even while 33 to 40 percent of our food is lost or wasted each year, according to research from senior partners Clarisse Magnin and Bj\u00f6rn Timelin. As we continue to grow, how can we support an unprecedented population while raising the quality of life for all?
