Simultaneously the amount of arable land per person is shrinking ! Exacerbated by the ever increasing threats of water scarcity ! Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of weather disruptions ! In some countries, food costs have risen to 40% of monthly budget ! Food insecurity already toppling governments
Water
! Within the next fty years, the world population will increase by another 40 to 50 %. ! This population growth coupled with industrialization and urbanization will result in an astounding increase in demand for water and will have serious consequences on certain countries and the environment. !

Thoughts
We are ve years into a severe global food crisis that is very unlikely to go away. It will threaten poor countries with increased malnutrition and starvation and even collapse. Resource squabbles and waves of food-induced migration will threaten global stability and global growth.
This threat is badly underestimated by almost everybody and all institutions with the possible exception of some military establishments
Jeremy Grantham co-founder of GMO
We are intensely concerned that global money managers are woefully unprepared for peak oil and largely oblivious to the amount of time, capital and effort it will take to mitigate the problem.

A catastrophic water shortage could prove an even bigger threat to mankind this century than soaring food prices and the relentless exhaustion of energy reserves, according to a panel of global experts at the Goldman Sachs "Top Five Risks" conference.
Climate change ranks as the preeminent danger to modern human civilization today. The evidence for signicant warming since the Industrial Revolution is now irrefutable and undeniable.

"I don't mind if China has civil war, epidemics, panics, depressions, all of that.You can recover from that. The only thing you cannot recover from is water, if China doesn't solve its water problems than there's no China story. They're spending large amounts of money to solve this problem.
Jim Rogers
The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages and 2 billion people lack access to clean water. More disturbingly, the World Health Organization has reported that 1 billion people lack enough water to simply meet their basic needs.
Arlington Institute
If current water consumption trends continue, by 2025 the agricultural sector will experience serious water shortages. Crop losses due to water scarcity could be as high as 350 million metric tons per year, slightly more than the entire crop yield of the U.S.
This massive water crisis will be caused by water contamination, diverting water for industrial purposes, and the depletion of aquifers. Climate change may also play a part. Additionally, many aquifers are contaminated each year by pollution and seawater intrusion
International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
The global agriculture industry will have to supply, as much food as has been produced during all of human history, to meet human nutritional needs over the next four decades.
