Why technical potentials are not easily realised
Producers maximize profit, not yield Less favoured areas have higher input-
output price ratios Closing yield gaps requires research effort Depletion of fossil fuels and phosphate
rock raises input prices
Supply becomes tight long before technical potentials have been exhausted

Conclusions
Food security asks for production increase
Different pathways are available Food security = risk management Don’t put all your eggs in one
basket Invest in different options
