Diet Changes Could Mean Food on Our Tables in Twenty Years

Unless we make changes to our diets, we are not likely to be able to afford food in 20 years time.
Oxfam, the charity has forecast that the cost of crops is going to go up by 180 per cent over the next 20 years.
Food systems across the world are collapsing so says the charity as it launches its “Grow” campaign.
925 million people go hungry each day as it is. This figure is going to rise, not fall.
If we start to make changes as to how we fulfil our diet, that is, if we start growing our own food, we may have a chance to eat properly over the next two decades.
If the food system is not overhauled we are not likely to be able to overcome the rising challenges of climate change, increasing food prices as well as scarcity of water, land and energy.
Hunger was increasing due to rising food price inflation and oil price hikes fuelled by speculators, scrambles for land and water, and creeping climate change, Oxfam said.
Food prices are predicted to increase by between 70 to 90 percent in real terms by 2030, prior to accounting for the impact of climate change, which would more or less double price rises once more.
Wheat prices may have remained stable during 2011 however, they are 70 per cent higher than twelve months ago after going up suddenly last summer due to the worst drought in decades ravaging crops in the Black Sea region.
