The Health Of The Human Race

In addition, global climate change will exacerbate these challenges faced by countries and populations. Shifting precipitation patterns threaten to reduce water availability in some regions while inflicting stronger storms on others, increasing both potential droughts and floods. This may increase the frequency of more serious

The global population is expected to reach 9 billion people by the year 2050 and scientific projections indicate that world is on a trajectory towards an environmental and global food crisis. World Leaders, environmental enthusiasts and aid agencies have cause for alarm as they support urgent policies for change, for without them mankind will face unprecedented food insecurity. In 2015 estimates were that there were “some 795 million people” [World Food Programme, 2015], experiencing food insecurity and 3.1 million children under 5 died through malnutrition, while Australians continue to waste an estimated 361 Kg’s of food per person per yr [PMSEIC, 2010, p.44] All the while the earth groans under the weight of Greenhouse Gas Emissions [GHG], deforestation, soil degradation and

People’s food choices are affecting climate change in many different ways.This happens because there is a lot of people who want selective foods and want it on demand without wait.This affects climate change because it makes the food industry do whatever they can to distribute and process the foods even if that means destroying the environment.

Some of that is deforestation, but the use of fossil-based fertilizers and the burning of biomass are the other two major drivers (Climate Institute). On the other side of the spectrum, as the Earth warms, changes that can be expected that relate to agriculture include a shift in agriculture zones away from the equator, a short-term boost in agricultural productivity through carbon dioxide pumping into the atmosphere, changes in rainfall, and changes in production patterns (Climate Institute). This will include some increased productivity, but it will also mean greater food insecurity, shifting land politics, and a scramble to adjust to new production patterns. Any improvements in productivity will be isolated and short-term. Shifts in where foods can be grown will reward the wealthy and punish – often fatally – the poor farmer who will have the seeds that have been married to the particular soil in which they are grown for centuries and millennia. Food crises will lead to food riots worldwide – which have already

Environmental degradation is a fact that has pervaded through every aspect of human life. But strangely enough, it is human beings who are responsible for such tragic environmental deteriorations. Human beings, through their peculiar habits and thoughtless actions have brought about dilemmas for themselves. It is the human actions which have put the environment and ecology in danger. But human beings have not taken any lesson from the environmental degradations as it seems because even today large corporations are contributing thoroughly to the deteriorating conditions of human life. Food, which is the primary mode of survival, is yet another aspect which has been made the target of human indifference – an indifference which is costing a myriad

The air around us is constantly getting warmer, in fact 2001-2010 was the warmest decade ever recorded. According to the article,"Signs of Climate Change", the average tempature on Earth is predicted to rise between 4-12 degrees by 2100. The major rise of temperature is later causing droughts to happen more and more. In present day the droughts are already starting to get more powerful, last longer, and happen more often. In 2100 they are way worse than present day and they are continuing to get worse. With the combination of really high temperatures and the drought we are not longer able to grow crops such as corn, cabbage, lettuce, and watermelon here in 2100.

Today’s world is facing many challenges given the growing concerns and current repercussions of environmental climate change and demands of a growing global population. Not only is climate change effecting the worlds ecosystems, human health and fresh water resources, it is drastically effecting the worlds agriculture. Unpredictable weather such, as rising temperatures, colder temperatures, excessive flooding, and droughts are just a few of the increasing weather instabilities, which are challenging and threatening today’s agriculture growth and production. As such, crop yields continue to decline and present a risk to future food security. As a world, we are facing an adaptation deficit leaving us very vulnerable and thus, we must seek to

The population health factors is a subject of extensive discussion within American health care system, nonetheless, few comprehend the bearing to modern health care environment.

In the article “ Warming world is a threat to the world’s food supplies,” CCPA Monitor writer John Vidal (2013) explains that climate change affects food supplies and triggers a domino effect in the world, such as economy, policy, environment, and agriculture. The writer also indicates most vulnerable people are easily affected by climate change, as the poor people and children and the number of those people still rising. There will be up to 2 billion more people to be fed by 2050. According to the author, climate change will cause crop shortages and price increases, that government are actively adjusting countermeasure to the issues (Vidal, 2013).

te change is a major threat throughout the entire world. With the excess carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere and the rising temperature this has caused the weather to be unpredictable. These factors all impact how we manage to get food on our plate. Farmers all over the world are facing the impacts of climate change and how their crops grow; especially in Western Australia and Southern China.

We usually associate water shortages with a lack of drinking water, but global water scarcity has a critical impact on food security. Agriculture consumes more water than any other source. Climate change is altering patterns of weather around the world, causing shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others. Water is key to food security. Crops and livestock need water to grow. Agriculture requires large quantities of water for irrigation and various production processes. Water scarcity may limit food production and supply, putting pressure on food prices and increasing countries’ dependence on food imports

Drought is another factor of climate change that causes severe damages to agriculture and livestock. The effects of drought on agricultural production and livestock holding can be a detrimental issue and result in quality dissatisfaction of products. The agricultural industry can be affected by drought both economically and environmentally. The economical effects of drought on crops and animals can lead to the loss of money and time. When droughts occur farmers lose money because they will have to spend more money earned from their

Food is the foundation of human live and people cannot survive without it. Food security is a vital issue facing the governments around the world. However, food shortage is becoming increasingly severe in this day and age. There are several reasons which led to the universal food shortage and they are interconnected to each other. Increasing world population, extreme weather and the wide spread use of biofuels are the main causes of worldwide shortage of food. These factors lead to food price rises rapidly.

Greenhouse gases come from such mainstays of modern life as electrical power plants, automobiles, and heavy industry. Growing consumption of fuel by less efficient cars and light trucks suggests that motor vehicles may soon overtake industry as the largest source of gases suspected of causing global warming by effectively creating a greenhouse around the Earth. Many people do not want to decrease their standard of living by reducing their consumption of fossil fuels. These people do not realize that if they reduce their consumption, there will be a reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases. If this does not happen and global warming continues, the long-term effects may be catastrophic.

Firstly, climate change has a big impact with world hunger. Climate change may affect food systems in several ways ranging from direct effects on crop production (e.g. changes in rainfall leading to drought or flooding, or warmer or cooler temperatures leading to changes in the length of growing season), to changes in markets, food prices and supply chain infrastructure (Gregory, Ingram & Brklacich, 2005, p.2139). It can trigger a natural disaster like drought and flood, which can have an extreme effect with the problems in the sources of food. In one hand, drought is a common scenario in farm lands in which
