Economics used to be known as the "dismal science," for once upon a time, its practitioners made projections that were almost uniformly gloomy. In the early 19th century, the population was thought to be climbing at a rate faster than available land to produce the food needed to feed those new mouths. Only when agricultural and medical advances caught up with these population trends did the hunger problem cease to be so persistent.
But now it appears, however far we've come as a society, food shortages are becoming more frequent, with what environmental crises and the advent of global warming. Droughts have been the results of severe climate change in previously self-sufficient areas of the world, primarily Southern Africa, as indicated in United Nations studies. As recently as 2005, such studies, seconded by the U.S. government in Washington, showed that more than 30 countries were experiencing droughts and food shortages, with other countries unhappily ready to follow suit, with some of their worst harvests in decades.
The silver lining amid all these clouds is that solutions are being offered up by daring companies equipped to reverse these trends, and, as the song goes, rise above and feed the world. More to the point, investors with a propensity toward risks may find themselves profiting from these pioneering firms.
