Improving agriculture productivity and sustainability is a solution to the food crisis. Sustainable land use, precision farming, and improved seeds and fertilizers can help achieve this. Sustainable land use practices, like conservation agriculture and agroforestry, improve soil health, conserve water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Precision farming techniques, like drones and sensors, optimize inputs like fertilizers and water to improve yields. Improved seeds and fertilizers boost productivity, crop resilience, and reduce environmental impact.

Another solution to the food crisis is to reduce food waste. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that humans waste or lose approximately one-third of all food produced for consumption each year. This amounts to around 1.3 billion tonnes of food, which could feed millions of people. Consequently, reducing food waste can be a highly effective approach to tackling the food crisis and enhancing food security..

One can use a number of strategies to support small-scale farmers and promote rural development. These include improving storage and transport infrastructure, improving food labeling and date marking, and changing consumer behavior. In many parts of the world, improved storage and transport infrastructure can help to reduce spoilage and waste. Improved food labeling and date marking can help consumers to better understand when food is still safe to eat, and to avoid throwing away perfectly good food.

Finally, changing consumer behavior, such as reducing portion sizes and avoiding over-purchasing, can help to reduce food waste and save money.
