WE CAN GROW MORE WHEAT RESPONSIBLY TO MEET RISING DEMAND

  • Improved varieties and more effective agricultural practices generated remarkable wheat production increases that have fed expanding populations since the 1960s.
  • The yield gains from those technologies have added US $500 million-worth of grain to wheat harvests each year and kept wheat grain prices at historically low levels until 2005, benefiting farmers and poor consumers.
  • New technology and better policies can power wheat-based farming to meet the crop's accelerating global demand, which is driven by emerging and developing countries.
