Last week we posted comments on the need for a doubling of global food production over the next four decades. Such growth would be needed to keep up with a constantly growing global population of humanoids. Recently we became engaged in conversations about the pressures surrounding the hunt for both usable land and water to support expanded food production.
It is time for a serious re-think of how we act as a world! Paving over highly productive farm land and delving into and using finite supplies of water is already very much catching up with us! And would you like to add polluting water supplies to the mix?
The need for food will grow. The question is: How are we going to produce it? Where will the fundamental resources needed to produce more food be found? When people say water is already the new oil are they hitting the nail on the head?
