Nowadays there is a spark of interest in the types of energy and materials that should be developed in the future. There is developed an extensive discussion upon the future of these two types. However, little attention has been paid to the future of resources. Taking into consideration the latest achievements in industry and manufacturing, such as the 3D printers and 3D scanners, the question is whether these technological advancements' spur will determine the future of resources stocks, including the feeding behavior for human, livestock, and global famine? The future of resources should be merely a nutrition-concerned issue, or a socio-cultural sensitive one?
I think there should be real alternative energies for oil and gas

However, the problem will have an implicit socio-cultural dimension, I think. Culinary traditions, for example, are part of the intangible cultural heritage.
Very interesting post dear Daniela. Indeed, the socio-cultural dimension should play a determining role to the future of resources and it cannot be undermined, in an era of food processing and industrial intensification.
An informative report of the World Economic Forum on the future availability of natural resources, which takes a novel approach to enhance understanding of natural resource availability over a 20-year time frame, is at https://www.weforum.org/reports/future-availability-natural-resources.
Thank you very much dear Olivier for sharing this report at the discussion. Besides, the natural resources reported at the publication year of 2014 ahead, could we make conclusions from a wider spectrum of resources: edible, extractable, raw, processed or manufactured, while considering the today technological advancements' spur?
Very insightful and thought-provoking argumentation dear Remo. Warm thank you for your contribution to the discussion.

Indeed, dear Osama, alternative-clean-replenished energy sources should be undoubtedly developed in the future. Warm thank you for sharing your interesting argumentation.

Bests.
Habermas and many other authors make a distinction between resources that can be built through technological rationality and the resources of communicative rationality that are built in the lifeworld such as the family and informal social interactions. Both are necessary, if we want to avoid technological imperatives forces adaptation of the lifeworld and imposes norms and values that are overwhelming the communicative resources
Warm thank you dear Remo for posting this insightful viewpoint at the discussion. Have a nice and productive week.
