Seven Megatrends that Call for Impact Innovation in Food Production

We present in this paper seven megatrends that are not in innovation ecosystems but around these ecosystems. The megatrends lead to huge pressure on the world and especially food production. If these trends are not dealt with in an effective way, we think that the world faces a risk of collapse in 50-100 years. This calls for defining a mission and we suggest this definition: "Preventing the possible world collapse due to the combination of the seven megatrends". The good news is that there are ongoing impressive activities in technology development related to food production, not least agriculture. Innovation systems and science parks play an important role in the transformative process needed.
