Political chaos, social unrest, civil war and terrorism. All this threatens the world as the middle of this century will not increase its food production by 60 percent, warns UN organization campaigning against hunger.
It is expected that the world population in 2050 will reach 9 billion people with higher caloric intake more and more rich people is likely to make in the coming decades will significantly increase the demand for food, said Hiroyuki Konuma, Assistant Director-General of the UN Food and Agriculture Asia-Pacific region.
"If we fail to meet our goal and there will be food shortages, increase the risk of social and political unrest, civil wars and terrorism, which may have an impact on global security," Reuters quoted the speeches preserving meat performance during the week's regional conference on food safety, which held in Mongolia Ulaanbaatar.
Some factors preserving meat may increase the potential for apocalyptic famines. In November, the leaking of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that climate change could result in each decade of this century 2 percent decline in production. In the last three years as Australia, Canada, China, Russia and the United States suffered major floods and droughts that caused crop losses.
Worsening of the problem is the synergy of food around the world, with a reliance on increasingly smaller groups of crops and leaving food supply is increasingly prone to inflationary pressures, insects and diseases.
"As the world population grows and increasing pressure on our global food system, as well as increasing our dependence on global crop and production system that sustains us" he told the BBC earlier this month Luigi Guarino of the Global Crop Diversity preserving meat Trust.
Progress in the fight against global hunger has been made to crop production in Asia Pacific, where they are grown more than three-quarters of the world's vegetables, a 25% increase compared to the last decade.
However, the FAO estimates that 842 million people worldwide still suffer from malnutrition, with nearly two-thirds of whom live in the Asia - Pacific region. One in four children under five years are stunted due to malnutrition.
As regards the fight with this problem, a UN body outlined two basic options: increasing the area of arable land, as well as a higher level of productivity growth. Lack of available arable land and the slow pace of productivity growth in staple crops is complicating efforts underpinning these two pillars of food safety.
Over the past two years, productivity growth for rice and wheat is about 0.6 to 0.8 percent. These rates should hover around 1 percent, to avoid a deficiency Konuma said.
Environmentalists also called for improving methods of food distribution. FAO, World Bank and World Resources Institute estimated in February that the world is losing 25 to 33 percent of food produced - almost four billion preserving meat tons.
As solutions to help address the growing threat of food shortages have been proposed: efficient agricultural production, a better way of storing food and biologically diverse, local food systems less vulnerable to global changes.
