A recent article published on the Guardian.co.uk titled “Fears for the world’s poor countries as the rich grab land to grow food” The signal of human population and development thresholds rings loud in clear in this article which notes:
New reports from the UN and analysts in India, Washington and London estimate that at least 30m hectares is being acquired to grow food for countries such as China and the Gulf states who cannot produce enough for their populations. According to the UN, the trend is accelerating and could severely impair the ability of poor countries to feed themselves.
