We will not be able to feed future populations
Climate change
Claim 2
Climate change is making it harder to grow food
Support 2
There are very few biomes which are able to do sustainable agriculture all year and with climate change even those biomes can't grow food constantly all year
Support 3
Water is a necessity to growing crops, and with climate change leaving longer dry seasons, there is less rainfall and therefore less crops.
Support 1
Climate change not only makes it dryer it also makes the chance of a weather natural disaster much more likely. In areas where they rely heavily on agriculture a single flood or drought can be devastating.
Population Growth
Claim 1
: Food security already happening
Support 2
Food insecurity doesn't only happen in poorer areas like Africa and India, it also happens in australia and the US
support 3
In the next 35 years we have to produce more food than has ever been produced in human history
Support 1
702,000,000 people are living in extreme poverty, while 793,000,000 people are malnourished and this is only with this current population.
Another event like the green revolution will occur
Genetic Engineering
support
scientists are able to genetically modify crops to be better for agricultutre, maybe it grows faster or requires less water
Agriculture is not amazing
Claim 3
Agriculture is not good for the planet
Support 2
Agriculture produces 1/3 of all greenhouse gas emissions, 70% of fresh water worldwide is used for agriculture
Support 3
Agriculture could possibly be the cause for no more agriculture, because agriculture leads to soil degradation meaning it won't be able to be used for agriculture anymore
Support 1
The world is running our of resources and land, estimates have shown that by 2050 we would need 120% more water, 42% more cropland, lose 14% more forest
