While researching this morning, ran into this interesting publication:

"new rapid response assessment report released by UNEP warns that up to
25% of the world’s food production may become lost due to environmental
breakdown by 2050 unless action is taken. Prepared by the Rapid Response
Assessment Team at GRID-Arendal and UNEP-WCMC, the report provides the
first summary by the UN of how climate change, water stress, invasive
pests and land degradation may impact world food security, food prices
and life on the planet and how we may be able to feed the world in a
more sustainable manner. The report concludes that we need to get smart
and more creative about recycling food wastes and fish discards into
animal feed. While major efforts have gone into increasing efficiency in
the traditional energy sector, food energy efficiency has received too
little attention." (2009)
