Abstract
This paper is designed to reflect the current status of food and nutrition security across the world with emphasis on developing and Asian countries and future needs (projection) to attain food and nutrition security.
It does so by analysing the FAO database on fruit production and demand analysis upto 2050 and providing recommendations on how we can achieve the future production targets following the Sustainable Crop Production Intensification (SCPI) approach that has been further elaborated and detailed in the Save and Grow approach.
The basis of this FAO initiative is to produce more but not at the costs of environmental sustainability as it was the case in the past.
