The growing world population could overwhelm the food supply in the next century, warns a new report from the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. There are signs that by 2025, when world population is projected to total over 8 billion people, food production may not keep up with demand. The Hopkins report urges a dual strategy of overcoming constraints to increasing sustainable food production and at the same time slowing population growth by meeting people's family planning needs. Even today, although there is sufficient food to feed the nearly 6 billion people on Earth, one in every three people is malnourished.
