Peak Farmland
As agricultural productivity improves, the amount of land needed for food production will decrease.
Trends
Peak Farmland
Conserving More Land and Sea
Humanity is on the way towards setting aside 59 million square kilometers of land and sea for nature.
Decarbonizing the Economy
Since the 1960s, the amount of global CO2 emissions per dollar has steadily declined.
No Peak Oil
Despite pessimistic concerns, global oil reserves and production have been growing over the past four decades.
Rising Natural Gas Reserves
Further exploration and development of production technologies have boosted global proven reserves of natural gas considerably.
Using Water More Efficiently
Greater efficiencies in agriculture have helped limit water waste and runoff, thus lowering the costs of water production.
Producing More With Less
Through the process of “dematerialization”, less material and energy is needed per unit of gross domestic product, fostering competition and lower prices.
