Nutrition is the sum total of the processes involved in the
consumption and the utilization of food substances
by which growth, repair and maintenance
of the body are accomplished.
It involves ingestion, digestion, absorption and
assimilation.

In your lifetime, you will eat about 55,000 kg of food.

How to feed the world in 2050?
Increase food production by 70% (2009 FAO estimates)
Grain production by 43%
Meat production by 75%
Increase must come from improved yield (limited land
resources)
Food must be produced with less water (increasing water
scarcity)
4 possibilities:
New land
New water developments
Improved biological and agronomic productivity
Policy reform
