Problem

You have been asked by a local magazine to write an informative article for this month's issue which focuses on the future of our food supply. As the human population continues to increase, we will need to find more sustainable and efficient ways to produce enough food for everyone.

Your article should use in-text citations and a bibliography, and should address the following prompts and questions.

Also, you are not required to present your answers in this order; you may rearrange the order to fit your 'magazine article' style.

Question A. Open your article with, or include somewhere within, one idea that was particularly meaningful or important to you from this week's material (and cite your source). You might signal this with phrasing like 'You might be surprised to learn that ...' or "This [name an Important idea/finding] is changing the future of food for the [best/worst]..."

Question B. Will current practices be effective in providing enough food for future generations given the predicted population growth? Why? (cite sources to support your claims).

Question C. Who do you think decides what foods are altered (genetically modified) and for what reasons? Simply speculate (no literature research is required beyond the readings that you read for this assignment), and then propose what you think would be the "best" process for regulating genetically modified foods (considering risks vs. benefits, longevity of the planet's health, humans' future needs, etc.).

Question D. What's wrong with our current attitudes towards the consumption of food? How does our personal approach to food consumption ultimately impact the health of the planet? (Share your opinions and include one source to support your answer)
