In 1800, for the first time ever, humanity's population reached 1 billion; only 200 years later and there are 7 billion of us. Today we produce enough food to feed 10 billion, global hunger as a percentage of the population is decreasing and caloric intake is increasing. Achieving this has been dependent on our relationship with our planet; how we manipulate it and how it controls us. We have prospered due to revolutions in agriculture and water supply, but these developments come at a cost. Daniel assesses the food and water challenges of the coming century and opportunities to overcome these. Daniel is a geochemist and lecturer in the School of Geography and Centre for Water and Planetary Health at the University of Lincoln. His research focusses on how people interact with the environment chemically; both how the earth's chemistry shapes human lives and how human behaviour effects chemical processes in the environment. In particular, he focusses on understanding nutrient and contaminant processes in soils, rivers and groundwaters. He has published in internationally respected scientific journals and has worked in the UK and Cambodia. He completed his PhD at the University of Manchester in 2016 where he held the university's President's Doctoral Scholar Award.
