| Popis: |
The human population increases by between 93 to 95 million people annually and it is estimated that it will be about 8 billion by 2020 (Gore, 1993). As a result, there is a growing concern for the total world environment and the realisation that food production must be markedly increased during the next century. The optimistic view is that as nations become wealthier, they experience general economic security, improved education, and falling birthrates. If present trends continue, we can project a human population of about 11 billion in the next 100 years. This may not be the most ideal global community but the situation does demand that we find solutions to the various problems. The most fundamental problem will be feeding a population of this size. |
