Abstract: The article analyzes scenario forecasts of economic growth in agriculture and changes in the food situation in the world, taking into account the impact of the demographic transition process and other global challenges and risks on them. The conclusions drawn on the basis of such an analysis indicate that the world is on the verge of cardinal, perhaps even catastrophic changes in the dynamics of the demographic and food situation. The author shows that if the situation develops according to a pessimistic forecast scenario, a giant "demographic collapse" may occur, as some scientists predict, incomparable with the past in terms of loss of human lives. The alarming prospects for humanity indicate that the world community should find an opportunity to overcome socio-economic and political contradictions at the global and national levels, unite efforts and immediately direct them to the development and implementation of strategic international and national programs aimed at overcoming agro technological, land-resource, climatic, environmental, demographic and other restrictions, barriers to the development of the world agro-food economy, to ensure a stable equilibrium development of the long-term conjuncture of the global agri-food market.
