World hunger worsens as war and severe weather hit food access

World hunger worsens as war and severe weather hit food access | DURABILITES | Scoop.it

The number of people suffering from hunger last year rose at the fastest pace since at least the beginning of this century, as conflicts and climate-related issues curbed access to food.

Those categorized as hungry increased by about 38 million to 815 million in 2016, accounting for 11 percent of the global population, according to a report from the United Nations. The findings also show that food security has worsened in some places amid economic slowdowns, while 13 percent of adults are obese.

Le mythe des catastrophes naturelles et l’influence des changements climatiques

Fertile land: the most important resource for the future of food security

Fertile land: the most important resource for the future of food security | DURABILITES | Scoop.it

Australia has a heap of it. So does China, but it’s not much chop. And while Africa needs a whole lot more, it is making a pretty good fist of building its stocks. It? That most precious of all resources, land that can support agriculture to feed a surging global population tipped to rise a staggering 24 per cent from 7.5 billion today to about 9.8 billion by 2050. That rise means the world’s farmers will need to produce at least 60 per cent more food than it currently does, if all mouths are to be fed adequately.

Un « Atlas pour la fin du monde »

Un « Atlas pour la fin du monde » | DURABILITES | Scoop.it

En 1570, le cartographe flamand Abraham Ortelius publiait le premier atlas moderne, intitulé Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Théâtre du Monde). L'ère des grandes découvertes venait de s'ouvrir et les cartes joliment dessinées d'Ortelius dévoilaient un monde flambant neuf pour de nombreux Européens, composé de terres à peine découvertes qui allaient suite être colonisées et exploitées.

D'après Richard Weller, architecte-paysagiste à l'université de Pennsylvanie et auteur principal d'un projet en ligne récemment publié intitulé « Atlas pour la fin du monde », ce monde n'existe plus. En réalité, le titre aux consonances apocalyptiques ne fait pas référence à la fin du monde, mais au monde tel qu'Ortelius le connaissait, affirme l'architecte. « Il est question de la fin d'un monde où nous pensions que les ressources de la nature étaient sans limite et que nous pouvions les exploiter sans conséquence », explique Richard Weller.

Converting forests into farms is not economically viable except in a few regions, says a global study. Published last month (July) in PLoS Biology, the study by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) examined deforestation in more than 50 countries in the tropics between 2000—2012, and identified regions where deforestation is most and least beneficial.
