Deep dives
The Man-Made Food Crisis and Resilience
A potential global food crisis is likely to be man-made rather than a result of natural resource depletion. Vulnerable urban areas, particularly those reliant on external food supplies, are at higher risk compared to more resilient rural regions that have the capability of self-sustenance. For example, certain areas in Africa may demonstrate greater resilience due to lower industrialization levels, while American cities could face severe consequences in a crisis. Furthermore, agricultural systems that use less energy and chemicals, and that diversify food production, are better positioned to withstand disruptions.
