paragraph on WORLD IN 2050
Answers
The current world population is approximately 7 billion and it is estimated to increase to around 9 billion by the year 2050. However the land area available for growing food doesn’t seem to increase much due to the land degradation. If we don’t do anything, this world will be lack of foods, water and resources which means it will never be the same as now again. So, throughout this essay, I will be explaining about the causes of these problems and the possible solution to this problem.
First of all, if this problem doesn’t stop, there are possibilities of famine occurring anywhere. Famine, refers to an extreme lack of food supplies or food access compared to its population and death rate. One reason that famine …
However the food shortage can be solved by few ways which is entomophagy, production of meat directly from the stem cell, genetic modification of plants, growing food using hydroponics/aeroponics (without soil) and growing algae as a food source. Out of these possible solutions, I will be explaining about entomophagy. The word, ‘Entomophagy’ comes from the greek term, entomos or entomon, defined as insects and ‘phagein’ defined as eating. If you combine these two terms, it means to eat the insects. Of course these days, eating insects are rare in developed countries however insect is still popular as a food for developing countries in Central and South America, Asia and Africa. Inhabitants of many countries still eat insects for its nutritional value and taste. So in general, entomophagy doesn’t just mean eating bugs, but a lot more than that. The reason I chose entomophagy as a possible solution is that entomophagy is an efficient way to feed 9 billion of people and also, it is phrased as a creative and new way of interacting with nature.
