Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in harmony. In a sustainable world, the social, environmental and economic requirements of the present population are met in ways that protects the world that will feed future generations. But what does it mean to be sustainable, when we are dealing with farming?

When it comes to food, over the past decades farmers and food producers have worked to meet the increase in demand in large part by adding more animals. More cows, more pigs, more chickens. But those animals require additional land, water, feed and energy. As the global population increases and billions more people demand access to a diverse and healthy diet, the toll on the environment and resources will grow exponentially. It’s simply unsustainable to keep adding animals to feed the population.

There is no way to build a truly food-secure world without implementing solutions that optimize food production while minimizing our use of environmental resources. So what’s the answer? It’s not more animals. And it’s certainly not denying billions of neighbors access to the healthy and nutritious food that will allow them to reach their full potential.

The four pillars of the Enough Movement – Innovation, Choice, Access and Nutrition offer a sustainable blueprint for addressing some of the most pressing issues that contribute to food insecurity. By focusing on these pillars, the world can produce enough – while preserving our environment and respecting animal health.
