Peak at 9 billion in 2050.
There are 6.8 billion people now and that will rise to 8 billion in 2028 and then peak at 9 billion in 2050, according to recent Projections. However, that number of people will exert an impossible strain on the Earth's natural resources.
For example, there isn't enough fresh water for more than 8.5 billion people at our current average usage. Food production is limited by water availability and the only way forward will be to use genetic modification to create drought-tolerant crops. Hence we need to change our minds on GM crops. Those anti-GM attitudes probably crippled research and are responsible for a large number of hunger fatalities in Africa.
So it is not far when fresh crops will not be available & Genetically modified crops will be the choice of every human being on this Planet.
LET'S SAVE WATER FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION'S.
THANK YOU.
