The latest FAO report warned governments around the world food production must increase substantially in coming years to meet the growing world population. Specifically, it was estimated to be 70 per cent increase over the next 40 years to meet the food demand of over nine billion people, besides addressing the impact of climate change. It is therefore surprising as from Brussels to continue to send out messages while reducing crop yields and farmers are punished with low profitability that delivers both effort. A policy that leads us astray and without the necessary permits generational change that meet the strong demand that we are headed and food crises that can whip the world if we are unable to articulate answers. FAO has taken us back to reality after the Forum of Senior Experts who have tried "Feeding the World in 2050" and the warning that the exponential growth in food demand will be aggravated by global agriculture suffer the consequences of climate change before the predictable rise in temperatures, increased rainfall variability and extreme weather events more frequent. Experts say that the combined effect of population growth, strong income growth in countries such as China, Brazil and India, or flight of rural population to big cities will lead to almost double demand for food, feed and fiber . From this UN agency suggests that agriculture will have no choice but to be more productive to meet a demand that will grow exponentially in the coming years. While in Europe the way it goes in the opposite direction and the consequences can be extremely serious but will react in time. We are going from 6,000 million to 9,000 million people on the planet as climate change will reduce water availability, increased pests and diseases of animals and plants, as reported by FAO. It also points to the combined effects of climate change may lead to reduced production potential of up to 30 percent in Africa and 21 percent in Asia as its population grows exponentially which undoubtedly will generate social tensions and migrations famine. Then there is the market for biofuels, with production will increase by nearly 90 percent during the next decade and reach 192.000millones liters in 2018 which will cause new episodes of food crises that suffer the poorest countries, especially in Africa. An estimated 44,000 million will be needed per year in development assistance for investment in agriculture in developing countries, compared to 7,800 million is being spent now, almost six times even though in recent years has been recorded a worrying decline in solidarity. The crisis has revealed the selfishness of the richest countries, with some honorable exceptions like the case of Spain which has increased its contributions to the poorest countries. The FAO warns that it is urgent to prevent food shortages and calls on countries worldwide to increase their production to the expected food shortages. In fact, the great world powers are gaining vast expanse of land to ensure future supply and curiously the largest land purchase operations are being conducted in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. The goal of FAO is to reach an agreement for the complete and rapid eradication of hunger, so that all people on Earth can enjoy the most fundamental of human rights: the right to food. However, the statistics are staggering hunger from many decades ago while humanitarian aid is now at record lows. The fight against hunger in the world seemed to be moving at last in the last quarter century. Between 1970 and 1997 the number of hungry people fell from 959 million to 791 million, mainly due to advances made in this regard as population giants China and India. From mid-nineties, however, the trend reversed, and the number of hungry people in developing countries began to increase at more than a million per year, after accelerating to the current issue of 1.000 million, the highest in history. It's time to say enough is enough. it's time to hear the cries of thousands of children dying by the selfishness of a world that has to switch between all, especially on days like today where we can do together.
