World Society Will Collapse By 2040 Due To Food Shortages, Study Says by Nobody: 6:36pm On Jun 24, 2015

A scientific model supported by the Foreign Office has suggested that society will collapse in less than three decades
due to catastrophic food shortages if policies do not change.


Dr Aled
Jones, the Director of the Global Sustainability Institute , told Insurge Intelligence: "We ran the model forward to the year 2040, along a business-as-usual trajectory based on ‘do-nothing’ trends — that is, without any feedback loops that would change the underlying trend.

"The results show that based on plausible climate trends, and
a total failure to change course, the global food supply system
would face catastrophic losses, and an unprecedented epidemic of food riots.

"In this scenario, global society essentially collapses as food
production falls permanently short of consumption."
The model follows a report from Lloyds of London which has
evaluated the extent of the impact of a shock scenario on crop production, and has concluded that the "global food system is under chronic pressure."



"Global demand for food is on the rise, driven by unprecedented growth in the world’s population and widespread shifts in consumption patterns as countries develop."


"The global food system is under chronic pressure to meet an ever-rising demand, and its vulnerability to acute disruptions is compounded by factors such as climate change, water stress, ongoing globalisation and heightening political
instability.

This article is nonsense. America pays its farmers to stay home to keep food prices high. If need be every can be fed. More fear mongering by nerds. FAIL!
