N2  - This report explores the circumstances under which the global agricultural system may be able to satisfy the growing demands for some major foods through to the year 2030. The analysis proceeds primarily through reviewing the quantity and quality of resources that can be mobilized - particularly those resources relating to land, water, plant genetic resources, climate, and knowledge about agricultural production systems that is embedded in people, institutions and technology. The demand scenario for the next several decades is tackled primarily by using United Nations Population Projections and some judgmental assumptions about the changing incomes and related demands for the major cereals. The report is largely about cereals, but there is also a brief mention of non-cereal staples
