In recent years, agricultural experts on our planet say that we lose 24 billion tonnes of soil each year due to soil contamination. It is believed that in the last 100 years we have lost 1/3 of the top layer of arable soil worldwide. As much as 52% of the land used for agriculture on our planet is severely affected by soil degradation. As a result of soil degradation, it is assumed that as many as 1.5 billion people in the world will feel it in the form of poorer access to food and will be forced to eat a low-quality diet. We observe a large increase in food prices in the 21st century, both for agricultural products such as cereals, coffee, cocoa, tea, etc. and highly processed food sold in retail stores. Are we threatened with a deficit of food and water for the so-called south of the planet and the increasingly acute social problems associated with crises of hunger, migration of people from countries with arid soil and food shortages to the richer northern countries with food surpluses? Or maybe we will produce food in bio-factories in the form of cloned meat parts? What do you think?
