How are we going to feed these folks???<br /><br />I would feel a lot more comfortable if there was a global emergency response asking the same question ... where will this extra food come from? But I see no such development. <br /><br />I think one of the most important demographic studies that could be done ... is to break down the population of countries, by age cohorts or regional differences, and show the ACTUAL nutrition that people are getting. This is especially important in the African countries, and in places like Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. I'm not sure I have seen any detailed "Nutrition Demographics", but it is a vital piece of information for the 21'st Century.<br /><br />And by the way - YES, California farmers are in a lot of trouble. With water prices skyrocketing, and Donald Trump on the warpath against immigrants, there is a real question about whether California can stay productive. <br /><br />Pete, Redondo Beach, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
