Food security, world food shortages, Peak Food, Peak Oil


John Gossop, farmer and author of Famine in the West, explains why food prices are rising and why there will soon be food shortages even in developed countries. Peak Food, oil and gas shortages, climate change, increasing world population with millions in Asia eating more meat so needing more land per person when there is less, water shortages, competition from ethenol and biomass, falling fish stocks and crop land losses are all threats to food security.

Yes, I agree that there are finite resources, but we can't forget about the distributional differences in the world. We can't ask everyone to cut back - even as we in the US especially - but also in Europe continue to consume at Beluga whale levels. We might have to share resources at equitable levels! What a thought.

When I was 7 in 1964, the population was about 3 billion. It took all of human kind time on the earth to achieve that level. In my life time, year 2000, the population doubled to 6 billion. It may be 9 billion before I die. Too many people, not enough resources. We need to get the population down to below 1964 levels. Answer, prepare for the cull. It may already be in preparation. Google "New World Order" "Chemtrails" make up your own mind.

I don't think that there will be famine "in the west": Canada, USA, Russia will be fine. Europe might have troubles due to climatic change. You can gather rain water, get water from the wind trap. You can keep population stable and stop immigration. You can have sustainable organic fertilizer and chemicals. People can work the land as farmers! this is what will happen. India, China, India, Africa they will have many troubles. 30 years ago people were starving in these countries.

Anyone knows where to find a real study= for each country how many people it could feed with its own natural resources, modern technologies, fair lives and for a long term sustainable model? This could be interesting. for example china can not feed its population. Now they used up their water reserve and destroyed the ground with chemicals. So it is not sustainable and long term. Same goes for India. I wonder how many people they could really support?

are you serious? if so you are a disgrace. Don't you understand religions kill us all. there are too many people on this small planet. ONE CHILD POLICY FOR ALL!!! or war, starvation, death. You can choose.

Thanks for your comment, Gleusda. I completely agree with what you say.

John, I applaud your attempt to raise this issue and please keep it up. But it will take (as we are starting to see) a rise in the consumers food bill before we in the west appreciate the scale of the crisis. A Rising World Population of 6 Billion to 9 Billion, and a long-lasting, huge economic slump will mean that a real fight for resources will soon be upon us. If we can't peacefully prepare for that now, then it will be a free for all fight and this World will be on a very frightening path
