I think its a phase, things balance out eventually.
Could be just a phase.
But I think,
‘This time it’s different’
or
‘It’s a new paradign shift’ Remember these from the tech boom.
LOL. Yep, I’m serious.
Oil is never going to be cheap again, so neither is food. It’s pretty obvious. Oil is a major ingredient of food by the time it gets to the supermarket shelf.
Global warming.
Gains from the green revolution are slowing as production is now fully utilised
Falling water aquifers.
Drying up rivers.
Over population.
The worlds population is headed for 9 billion from 6.5, and nothing much can slow that down. It’s like an overloaded semi trailer going down hill with no brakes.
Biofuel production.
This is going to be a disaster for the worlds poor.
Genocide, wars in Africa. Much greater terrorist activity in the Middle East.
The only good thing that can happen is that people will wake up to themselves and drop the number of kids they are having, as if they don’t do it, nature will fix the problem anyway. But it’s too late for Africa and the Middle East. The middle Easts food production is mainly from ancient non replacing water aquifers that are falling, and Africa is just a basket case. Farmers growing anything gets it stollen or destoyed anyway. Plus Africa will get the hardest hit from global warming. Build a wall around the place I say.
This will be a good thing for the food producing exporting nations. Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Russia. Parts of Europe.
Probably the only places you would want to live for the next century.
