Welcome to Wayne’s Media Centre— this all started in 2016–17, when a series of articles in The Conversation sparked a wave of over half a million readers and widespread syndication across major global media outlets, it was clear: food security, data innovations, meat free science and tech resonated. The catalyst in all this was Wayne’s groundbreaking book, Global Food Security and Supply (2016). It laid the foundation for everything that followed. Nothing is too complex if your asking the right questions.
The Green Revolution, though criticized for its flaws, successfully lifted over a billion people from hunger. Investments in agricultural yield improvements have significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating the value of innovation. While modern agriculture contributes to emissions, it also avoids many. Continuous assessments are essential for guiding future advancements.
Global Food Security and Supply by Dr. Martindale is a pivotal book addressing the complexities of feeding a growing population by 2050. It offers a science-driven roadmap for enhancing food security, critiques ineffective policies, and highlights the interconnectedness of agronomy, supply chains, and governance. Essential for leaders and scholars alike.
