Millions Could Spend Half Their Income on Food by 2050, Scientists Warn
For many people around the world, putting food on the table isn’t an easy thing.
But as populations grow and pressure on the world’s resources intensifies, that burden is expected to only grow heavier.
New projections suggest that by 2050, millions of the world’s poorest people could be spending around half their income on food alone.
„Anything that’s taking up half of your income is potentially destabilizing for your entire life,“ says energy researcher Jennifer Morris from MIT, „because it leaves so few resources for the other critical needs and basic life necessities.“
In a new study published in Earth’s Future, Morris and her co-authors modeled almost 4,000 hypothetical scenarios, weighing up numerous factors to envisage what resource security might look like in tomorrow’s world.
Resource security is people’s access to and control over vital resources like food, energy, and water.

You know, we will be back to the primitive ages when we will have to spend all of our time working just to be able to eat to survive. Fuck living in a house that live in our cars.
They said the same thing 50 years ago about the 2000s
So the shipping container hydroponic solar self contained family of 4 homestead plan will gain popularity. Or local farming coops. I envision grass yards disappearing and terraces becoming gardens as they should be.
They spend more than 50% on rent so something’s gotta give
Look on the bright side meal planning in 2050 is going to be incredibly easy when there’s only one thing on the menu you can afford.
What happened to the $8 thanksgiving dinner I heard about a few years ago
What’s crazy and sad is we don’t have a supply issue. We can make enough food to feed everyone several times over.
It’s that it’s not deemed to be economically beneficial to do so.
