“…Ethically, the supply and access to food (Künnemann 2006) and water , Marks 2014 should not be a matter of scientific research only, but a question of human rights, too. Food science should also be an integral part of the research proposals aiming at the 2050 challenges, and the scientific focus on how to better ensure food security should be similar to, if not higher than, the focus on how to control major human diseases (van der Linden and Foegeding 2015).…”

Plants are permanently impacted by their environments, and their ability to tolerate multiple fluctuating environmental conditions varies as a function of several genetic and natural factors. Over the past decades, scientific innovations and applications of the knowledge derived from biotechnological investigations to agriculture caused a substantial increase of the yields of many crops. However, due to exacerbating effects of climate change and a growing human population, a crisis of malnutrition may arise in the upcoming decades in some places in the world. So, effective, ethical and managerial regulations and fair policies should be set up and applied at the local and global levels so that Earth may fairly provide the food and living accommodation needed by its inhabitants. To save some energy consumption, electric devices (for e.g., smartphones, laptops, street lights, traffic lights, etc.) should be manufactured to work with solar energy, whenever available, particularly in sunny countries where sun is available most of the time. Such characteristic will save energy and make solar energy-based smartphones and laptops less cumbersome in terms of chargers and plugging issues.

“…Finally, it should be emphasized that there is food for everyone on this immense and rich planet, but to use it decently we need a thorough revision of current policies of food production, conservation, distribution and trade laws towards more human equity and fairness. Ethically, the supply and access to food (Künnemann 2006) and water (Hall et al 2014, Marks 2014 should not be a matter of scientific research only, but a question of human rights, too. Food science should also be an integral part of the research proposals aiming at the 2050 challenges, and the scientific focus on how to better ensure food security should be similar to, if not higher than, the focus on how to control major human diseases (van der Linden and Foegeding 2015).…”
