This is because as people become more wealthy their demand for more and better food shoots up. Professor Thompson explained that much of the interior of China has been left behind as the coastal regions have grown wealthier and that more than one third of China’s population still lives on less than $2 a day. He said that as the majority of people in developing countries grew out of poverty and passed the $2 a day mark, they would make significant demands on the world’s food economy.
We at Peakfood have previously said that this – when combined with the many threats to food production - will cause famine if urgent changes are not made.
I agree with you. I do hope that by that time, we are ready for the increasing demand on food. Programs should be implemented so as to lessen if not avoid such possible problem.
