The truth about food availability isn’t just shocking. It’s downright terrifying.
Drive-thru restaurants cater to every preference known to man. Delivery services bring delicious delights at any hour of the day. And massive supermarkets display every option consumers could ever want.
But there are two significant problems lurking behind these normative routines. And quite frankly, they’re scary.
You see, those in the know say that food scarcity is the storm on the horizon. And it’s not just any storm -- it’s the perfect storm.
This may be incredibly hard to stomach, but some people swear it’s true. In fact, some experts say that in less than 40 years, the world will have a food shortage that will change life as we know it.
"For the first time in human history, food production will be limited on a global scale by the availability of land, water and energy," says Dr. Fred Davies, senior science advisor for the U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau of Food Security, in an article originally published in Texas A&M AgriLife Communications. "Food issues could become as politically destabilizing by 2050 as energy issues are today."
As a citizen of the land of dreams, that’s a thought too bizarre to comprehend. Really, how could this happen?
