I am very disappointed that because of this economic crisis many ecological problems are out of discussions, all over a sudden. On e of the big problems that people are facing now is the lack of crops and food. The price for the basic crops is gaining weight similarly to oil prices. Why aren’t global leaders looking deeper into these aspects? The cold season is just starting in Europe so it is time to prepare to the new agricultural season. I can already imagine new strikes across Brussels of the transporters and agricultural workers, which will fear a new bad year for their business. Let them figure out now hoe to provide less useless products to local shops if there is no demand or it. If authorities will find out how to create an equilibrium then, there will be less crops needed, which means less oil and less money for it, and prices that reflect the real demand not the excess of it.

I should "disappoint" you that there are actually no food problems today in the world. Maybe only one or two African countries are suffering of that. Fortunately, we have more than enough crops/food, thank God.

The problem of food shortage will become more topical when the world's population increases. I don't want it to happen and am sure none of you want it, but, logically it's inevitable. Population increases, while the food supply remains the same

well we still have a lot of reserves. certainly the future will make the countries increase the lands used for growing crops, but, it's not unlimited, of course, which is very bad.

I think population is the main factor that will make the shortage of Food in future!

Yes population is the main reason. More population increase the more problem will be happen.
