Will the world go to war over the food supply as we are over oil shortages within 50 years?

Question

We can always create an alternative to oil as a fuel. But what about food? There is no alternative to food and will never be an alternative to food. And I highly doubt our scientist will create some Magic-Soil that will give us abundant crops. Someday we are bound to fight the war to end all wars over the food supplies. I believe that will be Armegeddon Day.

Answer 1

We are not now at war over oil..

Islamofaschist terrorism has nothing to do with oil...

We will probably not go to war over food in 50 yrs..

Answer 2

i dont know about armagedon....but we will also be fighting over water soon...with the population groth we will all be fighting for survival.only the strong will survive

Answer 3

Yeah ! i think there is going to be a fight for food in the future. We can already see some of the fights arising in many of the Drought - prone areas of India .

Answer 4

we will have to depend on roots or insects....as food like the earlymen.....

Answer 5

if there is shortages ..........................          yes,

Answer 6

start gardening . eventually  there will be a need to grow some of your own food. isnt that how we started by raising our own , we didnt need to package ,,and pollute with all the wrappers sure some things became so convenient that we chose to buy instead of grow our own.which was converted into us becoming lazy and not realizing we needed to keep up with our own nature.

Answer 7

No we will win that war.

Answer 8

I dont believe that the world will go to war over food supplies in the next 50 years.  I mean if worse comes to worse all that will happen is we stop feeding so much grain to livestock and give a higher percentage of it to humans.  What you have to worry about is war over water.  Already today there are over 100 small conflicts going on over water supplies.

Answer 9

War is inevitable, look back in history WW1 was the "war to end all wars" then 10 years later after the major countries of the world signed a treaty outlawing war we went to ww2, there will always be wars, we just have to try to prevent them, but yes, rescources have always been driving factors of war and always will be

Answer 10

Wars have been fought over food for thousands of years, and I suppose that will continue.

Answer 11

All food is renewable it can be grown or raised from current stocks so I don't see that being a problem barring some ecological catastrophe

Answer 12

Go to DisneyWorld/Orlando to their FutureWorld part of the multi-themed park.  They have one "ride" that comprises of going by boat thru a maze of plants growing out of tiny jars of soil - growing vertically.  They have a restaurant that prepares meals from the veggies grown there.  That is one of probably multiple ideas being worked on today to make best use of space, since acreage is becoming more & more scarce.

I believe, that with 6 billion people worldwide to feed now, that not only is food going to become a 'hotspot' for economic wars, but also the fight for water - clean reusable water for drinking, cooking and watering these crops.

I am certain that there will be many issues that will contribute to massive world wars in the future, but I just draw on the Bible for those last days.  All else is speculation.  I can't see it as soon as 50 yrs, but since the world is changing almost hourly, then there may be some possibility that in as few as 50 yrs we will have to face some economic calamities.

If this really bothers you, and you are young and of college age, why not start taking some classes to learn more about this, and perhaps have your degree in science research to help us all?  We accomplish nothing by wailing & belly-aching about things. Make waves & make changes!!!
