Food Supply Won’t Meet Future Demand
The gap is growing between global food demand in the future and the projection on the rate of growth for agricultural production, a new report shows.
The 2018 Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Index, put together by the Global Harvest Initiative, continues to highlight that food production is not growing fast enough to sustainably feed the world in 2050.
This is the fifth-straight year the report has shown a wider spread between future food supply and future demand. The report warns that if this trend isn’t reversed, the world may not be able to provide the necessary food, feed, fiber and biofuels for a growing global population.
The productivity gap for food production is more pronounced in low-income countries, which are not growing food production nearly enough to keep pace with future demand. “Total Factor Productivity” in low-income countries is growing at 0.96% annually, which is down from projected growth over the past two years, the GAP report stated. This falls well below the growth rate needed to achieve sustainability goals of doubling food productivity in low-income countries and achieving “zero hunger” by 2050.
To meet the projected demand of 10 billion people in 2050, the GAP report stated global agricultural productivity must increase by 1.75% annually. Such growth is needed even as climate scientists warn crop production will decline, especially in tropical environments in coming decades because of higher temperatures and more volatile weather patterns.
The GAP report noted the impact of climate change on both production and food prices, citing 10 different models that suggest “climate change will generate higher prices for agricultural commodities in general and particularly for crops. The impact of climate change must be considered to avoid a downward bias in projected supply estimates.”
The GAP report called the U.S. an “agricultural powerhouse” because of decades of improved efficiency and rising production. But the report also cited that average U.S. Total Factor Productivity did not grow from 2006 to 2015 as quickly as it had in previous decades. The Total Factor Productivity looks at increases in crop production, but also the costs to farmers to produce food, loss and waste in the supply chain and costs to consumers.

No need to use capital letters you unhinged lunatic..

Looks better, SLOB, like I guess you are trying to do with MOB. What kind of idiot would take a handle “I AM THE MOB? Are you trying to be tough sounding? Generally trying to look tough on an Internet forum means you are likely a wimp.

You got kids? Because if you do, you are going to regret having them..
Maybe if you would have gone to college and educated yourself, you would have learned about the limits to growth and made better choices.
Instead of sucking off of mommy and daddy’t teet..
You played a high stakes game bringing children into this world..And you are about to lose big time..
LMFAO!

MOB, Davy knows his “exceptional/indispensable” country is failing and the future for his kids is going to be more like those in Bangladesh than the “American Dream”. Just something he has to deal with.
Yes, I have grand kids in the US but I am not responsible for them. Their life will be more difficult than mine was and probably shorter. But then, so is the life of most of humanity. They will just be normal humans struggling to survive day to day as will Davy, you and me.
Prepare now and make the change easier. Self-sufficiency is the key but you cannot learn it overnight. It takes practice and the proper tools.

Come on SLOB, more trying to be big and bad but instead falling on your face. The only quality that maters here is smarts and you are way short on that.

Billy, people that have family are always responsible for them. It is part of being a father and grandfather. You would not know because you are a deadbeat skip town type.

Q: Is your dumbass sock, an ‘engineer’ as well? LoL.

aswange (pbuh swt), supertard (pbuh swt) is right. an unhinged old man is not going to to accountable for anything, including the trooth. we all have enough of a problem to control our thoughts because supertard jay hanson (pbuh swt) said our thoughts lags behind our consciousness a few seconds.
but we all try our best to be accountable to our families. your morality is suspect, your intelligence is suspect (only a hs dropout and i have a BA in physics), your accountablilty to truth is suspect.
for example, many alcoholics justify alcohol consumption with being social, cheerful, talking to others and enjoying chatting with the bartender.
in reality, the people can be extremely boring and the bartender could be forced to smile to get the guests drinking more.
not knowing yourself makes you a suspect. give it up aswange.
Anontarded1 on Fri, 19th Oct 2018 9:33 pm
aswange you fear collapse of supertards america so you ran to phils for bfs, then you hate supertards america, and this leads to anger, anger to suffering. just like yoda said
you said you can just walk into the jungle and find foods, well with most phils have malaria you mean you get out there to get malaria is more like it.
when i said malaria you gave me statistics. you’re a mere automaton capable of searching google, aswange.
i explained to you that supertards do not classify death as malaria but malaria related if you will. in phils, they have death by malaria. this is suspect. all this is over your head.

Davy: “…people that have family are always responsible for them.”
BULLSHIT! Is that why you suck on your families teat instead of growing up and being responsible for yourself? When you reach adulthood, (you never did, obviously), NO ONE is responsible for you. YOU are responsible for you. I have been responsible for me for 56 years, not my parents.
My kids were raised to be independent, not dependent. They are doing just fine without my “help”. If they do something stupid, they pay the price. If they are successful, they enjoy the perks. That is how the real world works.

“Situated among wholesale fish distributors and produce warehouses, skid row spans approximately 54 square blocks in downtown Los Angeles – and has become a breeding ground for rats and other vermin, which have contributed to Los Angeles County’s typhus outbreak which began this summer.”
Maybe they are in competition with San Francisco? Slip slidin’… LMAO

“Los Angeles County’s typhus outbreak which began this summer.””
Most Jews in concentration camps, all 200,000 of them, died because of typhus, including the icon of the hollowcause Anne Frank.
But that was in a war situation, where Germany was attacked from all sides and was fighting for its life. Here we are talking about a peace-time situation. It is amazing, nay exceptional, what you can “achieve” with a few hundreds of thousands of Mexican invaders!
Seriously, blue state California is something you give back to Mexico.

Come on sock cop where is the evidence? LOL. More nonsense out of the board moron. Showing your obsessions again and likely your secret behavior. I am surprised you haven’t stolen my handle tonight. Night is young huh dumbass.

“BULLSHIT! Is that why you suck on your families teat instead of growing up and being responsible for yourself?
Billy, more nonsense, I work for a living as a permaculture farmer and I had a successful life with investments that allow me to do what I do. You on the other hand are a failure and an old man sucking off the teat with your ill-gotten social security. You don’t deserve social security. Your generation bankrupted it. You are a horrible example of an American which makes it worse. Preaching the daily hate of a place that gave you a life.
“When you reach adulthood, (you never did, obviously), NO ONE is responsible for you. YOU are responsible for you. I have been responsible for me for 56 years, not my parents.”
Dumbass, If you care about your family than you don’t runoff to a stupid fake “club med” and frolic on the dirty beaches of the P’s. This is especially true since we both know about the hard times coming for the whole world, your stupid Asia included. You stay with the family to help them get though the worst that is ahead. Coward is what you are.
“My kids were raised to be independent, not dependent. They are doing just fine without my “help”. If they do something stupid, they pay the price. If they are successful, they enjoy the perks. That is how the real world works.”
More talk of a coward who could give a shit about his family and only cares about himself.

Wow, billy that was expansive comment out of your frail and aged brain. Are you capable of explaining your titles or just impressed at your copy and paste abilities. I mean come on anyone can surf titles it takes intelligence to go into an article and find points with facts. “Slip slidin” just shows how stupid you can be.
