FOOD SCARCITY
Introduction
The global food crisis raises an image of a natural disaster surging from an unaware
population from rich overseas investors who cause massive destruction. Billions of people
are at risk of hunger and starvation due to the current food crisis due to massive destruction
caused by bottled water. The reasons why so many people are at risk of starvation and have
limited access to food is anything but natural (Agrinsoni-Santiago, et al,2016).. Decades of
skewed investment policies by rich overseas investors, inequitable trade and unsustainable
development in agriculture has thrown the worlds food systems into a bust cycle and a
volatile boom widening the gap between poverty and affluence.
Food Scarcity and Shortage
However, not everyone will be affected by the food scarcity or shortage. The current
food crisis are making a bunch of rich people and corporations that devastate the poor
countries and them into economic and environmental risks. Coming global food shortages.
There is no possibility that with the current system the world will be able to produce enough
food for so many people. Already about one billion people in the world go to bed hungry
every night. Just read the statement by Colin Chartres, Director of the International Institute
for Water Resources Management.
Investors have built factories that dump the waste into the sea and affecting the
ecosystem (Coleman-Jensen, Gregory, & Singh, 2014).. Current estimates indicate that in 25
years we will not have enough water to feed ourselves, when the food crisis that has
happened may turn into indefinite. Not only because of this, but also because of the negligent
use of agricultural land and pollution, we quickly lose agricultural land. Today, about 25% of
all agricultural land in the world is subject to serious environmental degradation. This is 15%

FOOD SCARCITY
more than just two decades ago. That's not all, the fact is that the world and the ocean can no
longer draw enough food.
For the world to be food secure, there must be policies that must be set and laws that
will regulate the rich foreign investors from polluting the environment using plastic water
bottles. The plastic bottled water choke the soils and they pollute the waters which are the
factors that are the most important in agricultural production.
Researchers say low river flows can also affect the levels of water pollution in the
Ganges, already one of the most polluted Trans Boundary Rivers in the world. The lower the
river flow, the higher the concentration of pollution, which makes it difficult to wash them
out. The sad reality is that many of the rich developed countries are throwing away too much
food. One third of all the food produced will be able thrown away yet in developing
countries, half of the population are suffering from starvation and food shortage. The rich
investors should be regulated by the law on how they produce their merchandise especially
bottled water(Hendrixson, & Hartmann, 2018).
Effects of bottled plastic water bottles
Bottled water plastics have chocked the soils, lakes and plants making it impossible to
farm. Over the years, arable land have become less productive while the population have
increased tremendously. This has led to starvation and food shortage all over the world. The
researchers concluded that, in the absence of intervention, the contribution of groundwater to
the river’s water flow will continue to decrease in summer periods over the next 30 years. So
far, over the past three decades, we have seen a 50% drop in groundwater flow into the river
