Yet wealth is more influential than population. GDP per capita forecast to grow by 200% to 300% in China and India – way more than population… which will grow, globally, just 40%.More wealth = more demand for the food types NZ specialises in… and more environmental problems

... thus creating massive demands for animal proteins and fats, fertilisers, freshwater and soil, which in turn are causing…

How is humanity responding?All these ways:
![Page 9: Networking with Purpose - the Lincoln Hub: Dr Andrew West Vice Chancellor, Lincoln University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555cbc40d8b42a64718b496e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So at the heart of this is a massive, global predicament over use of land, water and climate, compounded by the accelerating rate of extinction of other species
What are large factors limiting humanity’s technical response to this predicament?
Neither money nor technology, but the lack of sufficient SKILL AND CONFIDENCE in land management

Lincoln University is the oldest and most iconic agricultural education institute in the Southern Hemisphere, with an international brand. We need to use that wisely.

After all, New Zealand……can do what most of the world can’t do…
farm ruminants on grass without subsidy at a profit…

…while much of the world produces milk and beef from cows and cattle fed on subsidised grain…
