How can LIP help feed a planet ? With 9-10 billion people in 2050  With restrictions coming from:  energy supply,  water supply,  greenhouse gas emissions,  soil quality,  wild and cultivated biodiversity

Which place for Industrial agriculture vs. Agro ecological methods  industrial agriculture is likely to fail the test of long- term sustainability

Natural resources scarcity: water, soil, biodiversity

Food and fuel? Food or fuel?
