Future Food Deficiencies

Fast food chains in America have had to reduce their chicken consumption due to a recent food shortage. Fast food outlets were forced to close due to food shortages. Grocery sales increased as a result. Even though there was a shortage of chicken, egg prices have risen due to a shortage of eggs. Although it might seem dire, there are signs that things will improve in the future. Below is a list of items that are most at risk for stock shortages.

While there are some things that can be done in order to ensure food supply, others cannot. Technological advances in water, seed and environmental technology have led to an increase in food calories of approximately 10% over the past few decades. Insufficient food production has been eliminated as a major reason for global food shortages. How about the future? What is our future strategy for addressing this crisis?

Global food security is dependent on agricultural production. Despite food prices rising rapidly, many countries are turning inward to prevent shortages. Egypt has, for instance, banned the export of beans and lentils. Indonesia has increased its export restrictions for palm oils. This oil is essential for cooking oils, cosmetics, and packaged goods like chocolate. These countries are the largest suppliers of palm oil in the world and will likely see a rise in food prices.
