Frankly Speaking: Food crisis will have ‘huge impact’ on Middle East, says agritech entrepreneur David MeszarosDUBAI: The brewing global food crisis will have a “huge impact” on the Middle East and North Africa, whose populations and economies have suffered “a critical blow” owing to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speaking more broadly, he said the world can feed 10 billion people by 2050 but not with the current food system.

This food system positions itself on field farming, and, because of that, there is a non-renewable aspect to it,” Meszaros said. The Food and Agriculture Organization is advocating the adoption of smart farming to meet the world's food needs amid worsening climate change.
