food production: The urgent need to address the world's sustainability crisis is laid bare in the latest annual report from Generation Investment Management, which was co-founded by Gore and David Blood, a veteran Goldman Sachs investor, in 2004, according to The Guardian. The fund has more than 22bn worth of assets under its management, which it invests in technologies that can improve food production, healthcare and energy provision. The environmentalist and former US vice-president said the world was in the early stages of a sustainability revolution that had the magnitude of the Industrial Revolution and the speed of the digital revolution . The scale of our global challenges has never been clearer, Gore said. We have entered an age of environmental crises and of widening social divides. The report concludes that an environmental breakdown is taking place alongside a fraying of the social and economic fabric . This threatens to create a disruptive economy-wide sustainability crisis. Incremental improvements to address these challenges are no longer enough; our economic system requires a fundamental upgrade to sustainability, Gore said.
