The World Food Programme said it expects world food production to be nearly 4.2 billion tonnes by 2020, with some 7 billion people on the planet needing to be fed.
U of A. said its food production in June exceeded the peak for the previous year.
It said it will be adding more than 30 million tonnes to its current output by the end of the calendar year.
