[quote=MUDDIEDKNEES,281443]I hope this is already obvious: there is a global food crisis. Experts point out a variety of causes: - Global warming - Decrease in oil supply, resulting in the increase in production of biofuels - Economic growth in many parts of Asia, resulting in the rise in meat consumption - Decreasing fish catches - Growing populations Our current food supply is only good for around 60 days, which means that if a catastrophe hits a major food producing area of the world, prices can rise sharply, even sharper than it is already rising. In my more than two years in China, I have seen food prices rise astronomically. I'm sure the same is happening in the rest of the world. At the present rate, more and more people will lose access to even basic food products, particularly the staples (rice, corn, wheat). What should one do? Two things I can think of: want less and waste less. Also, I do hope everyone in our community can help spread awareness about this issue.[/quote]
