Climate problems have brought huge impact on agriculture, crops have been modified to survive warmer temperatures, genetic modification improve disease control and output tonnage, but at the cost of traditional small farm agriculture. Huge global companies were the ones able to raise the capital to build intensive food production, using less land space, water controls, food cost have reduced but controled by the few large companies, at expensive of family farms. Rural populations, without income, flock to cities in search of income, bringing problems expensive housing, civil disturbance, competing with refugees prepared to work for lower income. The new foods taste better and more nutritious, but only to those that can afford it, mass protesting and blaming governments for allowing this problem. People think how thing were much better in "the good old days".

I imagine that by 2040 Europe will be a more welcoming place for immigrants. For this to happen, we need to understand that immigrants don't come to their chosen country to steal jobs and housing, but rather to add to it, to seek experiences and a quality of life that they often don't find in their homeland. On the other hand, for immigration not to be feared, it is urgent that governments establish rules and suitable living conditions for their users and immigrants. It is important if you understand the beauty of mixing cultures and how much you can learn from each other.

Today is December 31, 2040, I will move on to another year, but the one they went through was super good, the world on the street is happy, we all have stable jobs, those who take care of our health do everything to keep us healthy. Our children had the opportunity to complete higher education and are now employed by world-renowned companies. The future is beautiful, we will always be a united Eurpopa!

Health care is of high quality in the public sector and you don't have to wait long for surgeries and examinations. Mondern, well-equipped and clean environment. The education system is also at a high level. Well-equipped schools and many qualified professionals. More attention to nature, lots of green areas in cities.

I would like the "world of the future" to be more about connection between beings (animals, people, nature). I'd like people to be able to live more in community and with each other, to look at others with compassion and for economic interests not to take precedence over the basic needs of humanity, of people... From the point of view of education, I would particularly like to see Portugal work on the concept of autonomy, entrepreneurship and creativity in education, providing the children of today (the adults of the future) with the necessary skills for change!
