Future Food
The world’s population has been increasing faster than food production.
nine people are facing hunger at any time.
to feed.

Already about one in

By the year 2050, there will be nine billion people on EarthSo, clearly, we need to improve how we produce and distribute food.

There are going to be a

lot of challenges for us to overcome in the next few decades in order to make sure everyone in the world
can have enough to eat.
Of course, climate change is a major problem.

Higher temperatures may help to increase crops

in some places, but as a whole climate change is expected to reduce the global production of rice, wheatand corn.

In addition, countries’ actions to fight climate change may damage food production, because

agriculture and transportation create large amounts of harmful gases, which we need to reduce.
Shortage of water is another important issue.

Today, almost 75% of all the water used in homes andindustries is used in growing food crops. This will make it very difficult to increase the quantity of food
we can produce.

Other challenges are related to the number of people on Earth and their desire to eat

meat, because meat production needs a lot of land and water to support it. Perhaps we should all eat
more fish, but we already take too many fish from the world’s oceans.
So what can we do?

Well, thanks to modern technology, scientists believe we may be able tocreate new plants and animals that require less food and water.

We may be able to grow more plants

indoors, even in urban areas, using less water and needing less transportation to where people will eatthem.

Plants that grow in the sea are another possibility, especially because some of them grow very

quickly and they are already used in many ways in Asian countries. We may cultivate insects for food,on farms or in factories, and also manufacture artificial meat. In addition, there will be improvements
to farming through the use of AI and robots. Some scientists say we will even be able to make our own
food on 3-D printers.

However, these printers will still need the materials to make the dishes. We stillneed to keep making efforts for our future, but the situation is not hopeless.

844． Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?
① Although hunger is not a serious world problem now, it will be by 2050.
② Hunger is a major problem in the world and may be much worse by 2050.
③ The amount of food we can produce in the world can probably not be increased.
④ The cause of all our food problems is hotter weather due to climate change.
45． Which of the following is NOT true, according to this passage?
① Climate change has only negative effects on food production.
② It will become more difficult to grow enough rice, wheat, and corn.
③ Fighting climate change could damage food production and distribution.
④ Reducing meat production may be a good way to save water for other things.
46． According to this writer,① we may be able to keep animals for food in urban areas more in the future.
② it may be possible to create new plants and animals that can live indoors.
③ producing food in urban areas reduces the use of water and transportation.
④ plants that grow in the sea are useful, although Asian people don’t use them.
47． According to this passage, scientists think that, in future,① people will manufacture artificial insects for food in factories.
② there will be improvements in AI and robots that transport food.
③ there will be no way to improve the present world food situation.
④ people will be able to use technology in many ways to produce food.
