One of the greatest threats to global health today, antibiotic resistance causes 700,000 deaths per year because it is so often prescribed as the effective prevention and treatment of an ever increasing range of infections. However, by exposing livestock to these antibiotics, we create this dangerous problem. Allowed to continue unabated, this dangerous phenomenon is expected to cause 50 million deaths per year by 2050 and cost the world $100 trillion in lost economic output.

A Leader in Carbon Offsetting

Neem.World — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:08:03 +0000

One of the more practical and achievable ways to cleanse our environment and ensure an equitable future is to lock up, or sequester, more carbon from the atmosphere through the simple process of planting more trees worldwide.

Neem has a high rate of photosynthesis and liberates more oxygen than many other tree species, being able to ‘fix’ more than 14 μmol of CO2 m-1 sec-1. This provides a good platform for maximum CO2 fixation, while serving as a shield against other pollution components.

Synthetic vs Organic Crop Care

Neem.World — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 21:04:48 +0000

With mankind’s pervasive use of synthetic and toxic pesticides in agriculture, organic products are urgently needed for their positive environmental impact. Neem is becoming more relevant in the agricultural space because it contains over two hundred biologically active compounds that are effective in crop protection.

Financial Impact of Synthetic Pesticides in the US, 2014

Neem.World — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 18:28:43 +0000

A synthetic pesticide is a poisonous chemical or mixture that is used to prevent, repel, or kill insects, weeds and fungi. While these synthetic pesticides can aid farmers in preventing the crop losses that can be caused by pests, the negative effects they have on human health and the environment are catastrophic.

Rising Goblal Demand for Protein

Neem.World — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 17:55:31 +0000

Today, 14% of all humans who have ever existed are currently alive. It took 1800 years for the world’s population to reach one billion. Fast-forward 200 years and the human race had increased to 6 billion, and an additional 12 years for our last billion.

Though global fertility rates are falling, a 2014 study by the United Nations and the University of Washington demonstrates there is a 70% probability that the global population will reach 11 billion by the end of this century.

This drastic increase in population would require a 70% increase in food production and 100% more protein. How will we accomplish this seemingly insurmountable goal? Through natural alternatives, like neem!

What You Eat Could Cost the Earth – Chart

Neem.World — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 17:41:22 +0000

We currently use 1.6x the earth’s available resources. Unless moves are made to explore sustainability, living on our planet may mean having to make do with less. Farmland availability is shrinking, much of it to make way for expanding urban populations. Crop yields are no longer expanding and the ‘Green Revolution’ of the 1960s and 1970s is now just a distant memory. A new and more efficient way of producing food is necessary in order to solve the challenges of a rising population.

World Population and Arable Land 1996 – 2020 Chart

Neem.World — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 17:07:09 +0000

Sustaining the needs of a global population that has tripled in the last century alone is one of the major challenges of modern man. The global population has increased by 45% to 7 billion since the dawn of the new millennium, and is expected to hit at least 9.7 billion by 2050. By 2100, the human population will have surpassed 11.2 billion.

12 million hectares (29.6 million acres) of arable land is degrading each year, a rate 30-35x that was experienced 50 years ago. How will we accomplish the awesome challenge of feeding the world’s increasing population? With sustainable, natural resources, like neem!
