A global challenge
Over the next decade, there will be growing urbanisation and better social welfare for larger segments of the population. This poses formidable challenges for food safety, access to clean water, energy and minerals, and loss of biodiversity.
These trends are already impacting individuals, companies and countries, and will increase in the future. Along with climate changes, this will be basic strategic drivers in the business of the future.
