There are exactly 27 years and 251 days (from Sunday 24 April) and the world will run out of food. Scientists sound the alarm. To meet current needs, it would be necessary to have two planets earth. “Even if everyone on the planet agreed to go vegetarian, the world’s farmland could not meet the need. The world population will be too large to feed itself alone.” Also because the world population will continue to increase. “There will be almost 10 billion people on earth and the demand for food will have increased by 70% compared to 2017 needs.”

World without food what happens
Statistics show that we will need to produce more food in the next 40 years than has been produced in the last 8,000 years. “The limit for the number of people the earth can support is set at the absolute maximum of 10 billion. The constraints of the biosphere are fixed, there is no wiggle room,” said sociobiologist Edward Wilson. Experts say they’ve studied Earth’s times by comparing current rates of “over” food consumption to year-over-year population growth and births. dr Wilson continued, “It’s unlikely that everyone would agree to abstaining from meat, so the effective limit is lower. And every nation is different, but there is still a surplus of food eaten and wasted every day. For example, if everyone shared the average American’s diet, the world could only feed 2.5 billion people.” For the expert, “The world could feed a much larger population if we didn’t eat meat, because the production of meat takes more energy than any other food. For example, it takes 75 times more energy to produce meat than corn.
And in Africa, 20 million are at risk of starvation
Twenty million people are at risk of starvation this year as delayed rains exacerbate terrible droughts in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. The UN warns. The extreme drought that lasted for months brought the Horn of Africa to the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe, destroying crops and livestock and forcing large numbers of people to leave their homes in search of food and water. With the long-awaited rains of the current rainy season absent for almost a month, “the number of people starving due to drought could rise from the current 14 million to 20 million by 2022,” announced the United Nations World Food Program (WFP ).
