Brown Lester, “Feeding Nine Billion” Back in the day, the population around the world was a lot lower than it is now. Due to a drastic population increase over the last century in developing countries, there is worrying concern whether or not; we are going to have enough food to feed nine billion people in the next century. But before we answer that lets get some back ground information. Back in the day, early farmers were responsible to produce enough food to feed himself and seven other people. Now a days, a farmer would be expected to feed about 96 people from his crop. But over the course of time, technological advances have helped us triple the productivity of food by using tractors instead of draft animals, using fertilizers to kill pests, the use of irrigation and doing a variety of crops in one area instead of just one crop. But even with this impressive century of growth, there are still problems of not getting enough adequate food supplies for all the inhabitants of the world. About 841 million people through out the world are suffering from hunger and malnutrition. The biggest fear is “unless the world can move quickly to stabilize population, the ranks of the hungry and undernourished could increase as the new millennium unfolds.”(116)For the duration of time, we have relied on three main basic systems for our survival: The first major system that ca influence our survival is the Oceanic Fisheries. In regards to oceanic fisheries, we are over exploiting too many fish and we are either very close to or at our sustainable yield.
