Poverty, economic inequality and water contamination mean the inability to produce sufficient amounts of food to keep a population fed. This, in turn, leads to poorer health and decreased energy to carry out physical and mental functions, leading to more poverty. By 2050, the world will need to find food for approximately nine billion people as the cost of production for food will rise in response to the world’s increasing population. |
Robbie: “That means the conditions for the people stuck in the cycle of poverty will only continue to worsen.”
Tyler: “If the current rate of food scarcity and economic inequality continues, populations will be unable to sufficiently feed themselves.”
