FOOD SCARCITY
1
What measures should be taken in the future to decrease the scarcity of food, and support the
famine and drought-driven countries?
Answer:
There is a growing need for increased food quality and global elimination of the
environmental effects of farm development. As per the 9-billion article hundreds of millions
of people plunged into poverty, food riots shook governments in dozens of developing
countries, exporters banned international grain sales and "farm grabs" by rich grain-importing
nations in poor agricultural countries posed uncomfortable questions about how best to help
poor people
Interventions introduced include a transition of lifestyle from animal-based to plant-based
diets and a decrease in food intake and waste and keeping food cost low by infesting in
farming. Such steps are related, as a shift in the diet influences food output and use and,
ultimately, depletion processes by their specific water footprints and percentages of depletion
(Patel et al, 2015).
Discuss WHY this is an interesting question and answer:
1) Why the question is significant to you and/or society?
Answer:
The increasing disparity between water supply and demand increased the
number of citizens under water shortage from b 9% to 20% in 1960, which became
35% and 50% around 2000, and gradually increasing. One in six countries worldwide
confronts this year's food scarcity owing to extreme droughts that may become semi-
permanent under climate change. As stated in the 9 billion article the situation will be
worsen by the climate change increasing the food scarcity among many other
countries making the question significant in society
2) Provide an example/evidence that supports the significance of your question.?

South Africa saw the rise in food price since 2006 that are closely related to
times of intense violence experienced. Many other countries have a familiar history of
food scarcity. Taking into consideration their relationship, the cumulative ability of
dietary reform and food waste elimination in the water footprint of human food intake
(Kogan, Guo, and Yang, 2019).
Self-Critique for your Big question:
The complexity of the author's question: Is the question of exploring an idea in-depth /
beyond superficial? Is the question interesting to you? Why/why not?
Answer:
The question asked by the author has the niche o the global food crisis, especially in
the countries which are drought-prone. The food crisis is directly related to human diseases,
development-related issues, and sometimes violence and riots. These problems need to be
evaluated to find appropriate intervention. Agriculture is still crucial to eliminating hunger
reduction and offers the main route out of poverty for many countries. Food is perhaps the
largest single impact on the wellbeing of people, albeit in dramatically different forms in
developed and developing countries, while eating is a pleasure for some countries.
1. The clarity of the question: Is it easy to understand what the main points of their
argument are? Is it logical?
Answer:
The question asked by the author finds logic in the correlation between food scarcity
and drought, which doubts the food availability for the 9 billion people in future. Drought
remains a persistent challenge to food stability worldwide. It creates a loss in the
