The future of food and farming may not be dependent solely on breakthroughs in science — celebrities may play a role in changing the way society thinks about food from farm to table. Celebrity investors are known for drawing eyes to sectors that need more people’s help, and they typically invest in things that are worth society’s attention.<\/p>\n

With several recent circumstances bringing food to the forefront of many people’s minds, all eyes are on whether there will be shortages and scarcities as time goes on. As improvements in agriculture technology become more well-known, more investors look at agriculture through new eyes \u2014 and choose to invest in something that will benefit the world.<\/p>\n

Current Problems Agriculture Faces<\/h2>\n

The agriculture industry is more fragile than some people realize. While it is made up of many moving parts, just disrupting a couple of those parts can mess up the entire supply chain for a time. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, shortages disrupted many families’ ways of life. The Farmers to Families Food Box Program, a response by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ran for an entire year and helped many families eat<\/a> when they had no access to food otherwise. In the future, more shortages are sure to happen as more areas around the globe become intertwined.<\/p>\n

Climate change is another big worry. While most people know about rising sea levels, not everyone understands just how rising seas can affect the food we eat. Only 2.5 percent of the water on the planet is freshwater, meaning that only a small percentage of the water<\/a> on Earth is drinkable and can be used to nourish crops.<\/p>\n

Another area that might be concerning in the future is the limited land. Farming takes space \u2014 crops and livestock take up resources. There soon won\u2019t be enough farmland to sustain local crops in more urbanized areas. Still, there may be a way to combat this issue in the future by improving agricultural technology. The right developments could enable people to grow crops with less land.<\/p>\n

Livestock will still be a challenging issue, though. Acreage is something to watch as the number of farms decreases. Still, it seems like acreage per farm has increased<\/a> despite the lessening number of farmsteads. Though small in terms of farmland, this extra space could assist with raising meat animals, especially smaller ones like free-range chickens or turkeys. Due to the adverse environmental effects of raising cattle, opting for poultry or plant-based meat might be in the public\u2019s best interest in the near future.<\/p>\n

Without the proper education, people may not know how scarce water is and how quickly they need to take action \u2014 if they can. They also may not know that it’s a beneficial sector to invest in \u2014 as agriculture technology is continually growing, and the industry will always remain one of the most important ones in the world.<\/p>\n
