The document discusses the growing global food crisis. It states that the world population is expected to increase to nearly 10 billion people by 2050, but the world bank and UN predict a worldwide food shortage by that year. While the world produces enough total food to feed everyone, nearly 800 million people currently lack access to sufficient nutritious food due to various factors. These factors include problems with local farming, food waste, and economic and social conflicts exacerbated by climate change. Addressing the multifaceted issue will require efforts across many areas.
