Summary

Food and energy are becoming scarce resources and with today’s growth rates, we could be confronted with shortages in less than 50 years. Alternative energy sources are being researched, sometimes in the detriment of other resources, such as food. Both poor and rich nations are struggling to find solutions to the food crisis, but are finding that long-term measures might take too long to satisfy current needs. Billions are being invested in research, but too little in awareness and resource management. Perhaps the ultimate solution comes not only from new technologies but from more rationally using the ones we have.
