The World Summit on Food Security declared that in 2050, “The world’s population is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2050, boosting agricultural demand – in a scenario of modest economic growth – by some 50 percent compared to 2013” (FAO, 2017). However, this increase in food production must be accompanied by a sustainable management of agricultural lands to stop or at least slow down the negative impacts on the quality and quantity of water and soil resources, land degradation, green-house gas emissions, or biodiversity (Gomiero et al., 2011).
