The most recent figures from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) show that one U.S. farm feeds 166 people annually in the U.S. and abroad. The global population today is about 7.9 billion. People much smarter than I, who have researched these things, expect that number will grow by 2.2 billion within the next 30 years. According to AFBF, that means the world’s farmers will have to grow about 70% more food than what is currently produced.
