Today, cooler countries grow most of the world’s carrots.

But carrots got their biggest boost during the two world wars when food shortages forced people to eat them and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were.

What about supply? The three environmental trends—the shortage of fresh water, the loss of topsoil and the rising temperatures—are making it increasingly hard to expand the world's grain supply fast enough to keep up with demand.

The surge in world grain prices in 2007 and 2008—and the threat they pose to food security—has a different, more troubling quality than the increases of the past.

The result is falling water tables in countries with half the world's people, including the three big grain producers—China, India and the U.S.

The cost for saving our civilization would be considerably less than the world's current military spending.

The biggest challenge here is irrigation, which consumes 70% of the world's fresh water.

The author has come to agree that food shortages could ultimately lead to the collapse of world civilization.

Since the current world food shortage is trend-driven, the environmental trends that cause it must be reversed.

Rather than superpower conflict, countries unable to cope with food shortages now constitute the main threat to world security.

Our continuing failure to deal with the environmental declines that are undermining the world food economy forces me to conclude that such a collapse is possible.

Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life.

Indeed, we have made substantial progress in some parts of the world on at least one of these—the distribution of family-planning services and the associated shift to smaller families.

Increasing water shortages prove to be the biggest obstacle to boosting the world's grain production.

In contrast, the recent surge in world grain prices is trend-driven, making it unlikely to reverse without a reversal in the trends themselves.

In 1972, for instance, the Soviets, recognizing their poor harvest early, quietly cornered the world wheat market.

Hesiod offers an idea—which you very often find in some of the world's great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam and others—that in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself.
