"The end of cheap food"
Statistics:
- 98% of people are not farmers, but get their food from farmers
- 60% are farmers and get their food directly from the ground
- 1/3 make things (create their food)
- The U. S population alone has increased 300% in 100 years
- China is 20% of the entire world's population and has 7% of the entire world's arable land
- Farmland disappears 2 acres per minute (acre=90% of a football field)
- 70% of farmland is owned and kept as clear, clean, and free as possible
Reaction:
- I was very shocked at how quickly we are using up and destroying the earth, particularly, farmland. We are trying to feed 3 times more people than the actual amount of food we have. We need to work on being more organic and eco-friendly otherwise it could completely destroy our environment and really take a toll on us in the long run.
