According to the World Resources Institute, the world will have to feed about 10 billion people in 2050. The demand for food will increase by more than 50 percent. A well-prepared workforce will be needed for this great responsibility.

Leadership is a choice, decision and skill. What's your way of operating in your food career or job?
