Summary

With the world’s economic and social landscape changing constantly, food and energy, more specifically the lack of it are being thrust into the fore the international stage. Societies all over the world are faced with a pending and ongoing crisis. Global populations have reached over 6.5 billion people. This staggering amount is expected to reach over 9 billion by 2040. This staggering growth coincides, almost in direct correlation you can say, with the shortages of food and energy available. With ardent and constant monitoring and a vigilant take on the crisis, the social well being of societies internationally could be improved. However a failure to do so would not only call into question the governing bodies’ integrities but more importantly the effect on the populace would be dire.
