The Agriculture Bomb

If you want to get an idea of how fast population is going up and arable land is going down, there is an Internet clock that keeps track of this at: http://www.tranquileye.com/clock/. Looking at that clock, you can't help but get the sense that the world's food supply/demand picture is a ticking time bomb.

If current trends hold, we could see 9.1 billion on this planet by 2050 — but demand for protein food, especially in China and India, is growing much faster. According to Australian researchers, total world food demand is forecast to rise 110% by 2050.
