在提高全世界所急需的粮食可获得性的问题上公司、投资者、政府和社会面临着一系列关键障碍：本地人口土地所有权得不到保障；不可持续的开采速度导致潜水面下降；致污投入（如化肥和杀虫剂）的无效使用；重要生态系统的损失影响了粮食生产的恢复力；以及某些地区无力抵挡极端天气。
Companies, investors, governments, and communities confront a series of critical barriers to increasing the food availability that the world needs: Local populations’ insecure land ownership; receding water tables, owing to unsustainable extraction rates; inefficient use of pollution-causing inputs like fertilizers and pesticides; the loss of vital ecosystems, affecting the resilience of food production; and certain areas’ inability to cope with extreme weather.
