The future of food.

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 want the future there peacefully, without armed conflicts , tolerance and a distribution of taxes and taxes so that both the poor and the rich pay a fair contribution , also that everyone would be treated in the same way and politicians finally stop promising their friends a better world , at the expense of the less fortunate , in short a safe and well-living world for everyone on this globe !

By 2040, everyone will live in peace with each other. People are finally coming to the realization that they have got the brain that sets them apart from most other animals. They behave accordingly and live peacefully with each other. The imperialists at the top of society have been driven out and replaced by people who have the best interests of humanity and the planet.

Senza futuro
You ask us to tell you about a day in 2040 when it's hard to look over a week. What can be imagined of the near future, projecting the current state of things? It's really complicated. I can hope that there will be a more compact European Community and that it will be less and less influenced by the United States. I can hope that Israel will be better off than it is now acting with atrocious violence against the Palestinians. Hope. Two thoughts on all, with certainty it will not be so. I see a catastrophic future and fear for my children.

I would like the future to be more restful than the period we are currently living in. I would like humanity to be more respectful of its environment but also of people. By 2040, all people would be aware of the environment. Degrowth would have started, but it would have had a positive impact on everyone. More consumption to excess, everyone would consume what is available in his country or close environment geographically.
