Food Production
Agricultural decisions about food, feed or energy crop selection, food waste composting, extensive versus intensive agriculture, irrigation practices that limit the amount of energy and water needed for crops, deforestation for agricultural purposes, and the energy and water demands of animal husbandry or fisheries all require careful analysis to ensure increases in global food production can meet demand.
