Resources & re-production needs to be well managed
“We have never seen this before: we went begging for wheat
and for two weeks we could not find it,” said a senior World Food Programme official at the recently concluded World Economic Forum in Davos. With the soybean & wheat prices going sky high, the official lamented that so acute is the food crisis that the countries are too niggardly in sharing their produce. While there are many who blame this on the ever reducing agricultural land, another set of experts completely blame the rising population for the dwindling food supplies. The Optimum Population Trust believes, if the current rate of population growth goes on, it is likely to touch 134 trillion figure by 2300. While that may be a bit farfetched, the UN estimates cite that the global population is likely to stabilise at 10 billion mark by 2200. And according to experts, such large chunk of human species are likely to make it 50% more difficult to manage climate change; prevent the overuse of natural resources & make it 50% harder to provide food for the entire lot. However, more excruciating than the population increase is the fact that global consumption has been rising at an alarming rate. According to noted environmentalist George Monbiot, “By 2100, global consumption will increase by roughly 1,600% & economic growth this century could be 32 times; as big an environmental issue as population growth.” Consumption or population – the fact is that mankind needs to deliberate on being a little more judicious.
