Yes, it IS possible to feed 9 billion people by 2050. American's would just have to start eating about 50% less food.

I think if people start growing there own foods that might help. Also people need to stop wasting things like it's nothing it might not have much impact on us now but it will in the future. Also another big concern is water if we have pleanty of water by 2050 we can still survive if we are running short in the earths natural resources by then we could be in trouble. Also the fish in the oceans numbers are declining by 2050 fish might be nearly extinct maybe we should lay off the fishing for a while or cut down anyway. Fish are getting smaller in size they believe the fish that are left will be even smaller by then. We need to look at what we are doing wrong now to prevent this in the future.

9 billion? are you expecting a massive die off of humanity before 2050? We hit Seven billion in 2012 we are better than seven point five billion now. That 9 billion is going to hit us about 2025. Yes we can feed that many even though we are not feeding the population we have , that is more because we in the west are picky eaters and waste as much as we eat.

It is possible, but the United states feeds around 300 million people rounded up. And has enough to feed up to 2-4 billion people on the face of the planet.



We just choose, well Americans choose money over anything, thus companies like McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and any other popular company only builds food restaurants for money.



Not saying that we're, well Americans or the United States are all greedy, but we just are we don't like losing but simply gaining.



EROUPE AND ASIA ALSO has enough to feed a couple billion of people.



It's not about that the earth could attain enough food, Because The planet earth could easily.

We just need to work together not only in the USA but in the other wealthy countries to keep up the poorer countries fed, and good looking.



We could do anything if we had good people, to do good.

Yep.



Of course, Trump can solve the problem easier. A couple well places nukes and he'll have wiped out all of ISIS and the food problem.



We could always let the restaurants change their "meat products" into real meat, only human, and the problem is solved. I mean, we don't know what we're really eating anyway. Horse, rat, human... A few may notice and complain, but they could be the next course. Either way, Trump or Hillary could take credit, once they remove the movie and book rights.



Monsanto is doing very good with it's "Frankenfood." Just because we don't know what problems it can cause in the long run, why worry? So it causes cancer. Big deal, it's just more money for the doctors who treat instead of cure the illness. In fact, it will just keep coming back so they can make even more.



Or, just let them die. I mean, come on. Trump makes it clear he hates non-whites and those who are disabled, so... Cut off welfare and let them starve, stop sending any help to Africa, Haiti, or any other nation that has non-whites. More money for him, or Hillary, and less population. Since most Americans seem to agree with his racism, I guess that solves a lot of problems.

America itself is what would stop the world from reaching that goal. If people in America were to consume less food or waste less food, we would have a way better chance of being able to feed 9 billion people by 2050.

Allow me to rephrase your question. What if there was a limit to feed 9 billion people by 2050 and you were happen to be the 9 billion+1 person. What would you think if it was not possible for you to be fed?This sounds as much cruel as your own question. The thing is that there is plenty for everybody, if happy with what one should have and not what can have.

2015-12-01 21:50:21 UTC
yes possible because in the past when the world population was only 1 billion people at that time predicted same thing but now 7 billion above still there hardly found a person died by starving so what ever it is 9 or 12 billion people will find the way to feed all the people.

Is it possible to feed 9 billion people by 2050?



Unless there's major league technological advancement in the food industry by then, no. For one thing, some scientists are predicting (despite media hype to the contrary) that we may be entering a period of global COOLING similar to previous periods within the last thousand years. If this happens and crops fail, along with other constrictions on vital commodities, a few billion people may have to say "sayonara" - similar to previous times not that long ago.



When the planet is warm and productive people tend to over-reproduce and paint ourselves into a corner. Then the cooling comes and many have to suffer and die - unless next time we're better-prepared.
?
2015-12-01 14:01:50 UTC
Yes! 9 billion people can be fed by 2050. Switch to a diet of whole grains and legumes. Also nuts and fruits. Maybe an occasional egg. Some soy milk would be ok to.

>Is it possible to feed 9 billion people by 2050



There's easily enough food to feed 9 billion people. Distributing it? That's another question.
Ann O
2015-12-02 02:48:07 UTC
Yes it is possible. But let's look at the global population for a second. The most populous countries also have large economies. India is the second highest mass producer of people with 1.25 billion people. Despite rising levels of education it seems lower class women - who do not have access to education or understand contraception - will inevitably reproduce and continue doing so until their wretched womb becomes a shredded monstrosity of what it used to be. The first world should feel lucky that they have so much access to education, support services, and basic resources for living. The poor and destitute living in impoverished countries breed like rabbits because it's the only thing to do. Breeding is their r'aison d'etre.

2015-12-04 02:39:40 UTC
The correct answer is No because the disappearance of fresh water all around the world will bring this to a head long before 2050. Already the US is diverting water from the Great Lakes into the Mississippi system in violation of US law and international treaty. India & China will fight a pointless, perhaps nuclear war over Himalayan water sources.
Everlyn
2015-12-03 22:33:06 UTC
Yes, it is possible. However, if we keep using the same tactics we do now, then it might be a bit difficult.



For example, the world population is approximately 7.3 billion, however there's still the issue of world hunger.



The problem is that people waste alot food. The amount of food we waste could probably end world hunger. Therefore, our habits would have to change in order to feed 9 billion people.



Simple Solution: STOP WASTING FOOD.
Kels
2015-12-02 00:58:12 UTC
Yes its possible. People have always been worrying about over population since the 1800's or before but science and ingenuity always find solutions to feed everybody.



Some people may not like it but capitalism is part of the answer, peoples drive and ingenuity will solve these problems based on demand. This is what allowed us to progress this far, and also had allowed developing countries like India and China to catch up and not cause their billions of people to starve. If you left it all up to some sort of government system half of them would have died by now.

Nine billion people is the apparent maximum housing capacity of our planet. Hopefully though by 2050 missions like Mars One will be successful and humans be inhabiting Mars, as planned. Also as time progresses innovations in technology and science, like modern the use of modern GMOs, occur that allow us to produce more food more often in more locations that we could before. Another leap in agriculture is hydroponics, which incorporates both fish and plant farming. In this case fish provide most of the plants nutrition and about 95 percent less water is required in comparison to traditional horticulture farming. Never underestimate technology and how it will advance and remember, for every problem you encounter there is always a corresponding solution.

Yes, we can create 9 billion pizzas before 2050. That's only 725k pizzas a day. All we need is 100k people to make a bit over 7 pizzas every day each and then it's done. it's as easy as (pizza) pie.

No. We are having food shortages, not to mention that most of the food goes to the military, and rich. Leaving the rest to adjust eating habits especially the sick, mentally ill, poor, and homeless. Global warming is also another factor when it comes to growing food and bees to pollen, and their becoming extinct. Islands like the Philippines, Cuba, puerto rico, Guam, samoa Islands of they start right now a program for farmers to cultivate food and give them a good substancial Finance for future farmers to grow healthy food and animals then there's a chance. You also have to think will there be a ww3 or a ww4 in the future as well. And last is the number one thing we all humans need than food and that's h2o. No water there won't be 9 billion people it be cut significantly especially since we are having droughts now.

The problem in most cases is not the ability to grow food. it's the infrastructure and distribution along with loss from rats, insects and spoilage that causes waste , Even with those problems lowering the cost of energy in the production of food could make it possible to feed even more than 9 billion people by 2050 .
anonymous
2015-12-02 18:57:41 UTC
Yes it is possible. The solution is right in front of us, in plane view. But doing so will ignite a war.

LAND LAND LAND! There is no shortage, only a small group of people who own all of that precious tillable space who refuse to use it properly. Why have 99-100 acres, 1000 acres, or even 20-50 acres, that you do have no intent on using? Elitism. From my experience, that type of land ownership is to snuff out the chances of possible neighbors. Boo hoo NEIGHBORS, Right? The Baby Boomer and Millennial generations both suck. They are terrible, wasteful, lazy, slow to do anything but complain; Fools. You can grow food in a dang flower pot. But nobody will, and gardens are being outlawed everywhere. Gardens are ugly, and food is not important.



The elitist scum that were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth are no better than the scum selling crack to children. Outlawing gardens? How in hell did that pass legislation? The green initiative is total BS if this is not repealed. I mean you can't even own a few chickens! Ask those people in Florida.

it isn't a food crisis but a reproduction one. If you feed all the starving ones, they'll get their strenght and will reproduce, before you know there'll be 27 billion starving. This you'd know if you looket ad the past, for instance live aid in 1985 feed 8 million starving people, look at the numbers only 1 year later there were 16 million starving people. This is facts that people choose not to see as I am the only one mentioning. Sure, feed them, keep on feeding them. I for one will not reproduce.

If they don't stop polluting the atmosphere they not be that many in 2050. But I think by than we will still have to fight over food. The melting ice caps will force more people onto lands needed for crops. When you think of it this away, the future looks kind of bleak.

By 2040, the world’s population is predicted to rise to nine billion. That means two billion more mouths to feed. Even now, the earth groans under the weight of those numbers. More than 800 million people are malnourished. Another two billion are short of essential micro nutrients, which affect health. A billion more consume too many calories and are obese.

To begin the world's population growth has slowed down greatly and the population of the world will actually soon be decreasing in reality, but I know you liberals are never bothered by pesky things like facts! The biggest problem by then will be the aging populations in many European, Western, and Asian countries meaning a greatly depleted work force.

There will still be thousands of starving people in Africa but the problem is not producing enough food to feed them, the problem is it is far too expensive to ship the food there and get it there before it goes bad and these are serious issues which we have no answer to in 2015, but the ITER fusion reactor that will be built in France in a few years could mean cheaper energy in the near future which could be a start to solving this problem.

2015-12-02 16:14:36 UTC
Of course! The U.S. alone throws away enough food to feed 9 Billion people. With the way scientists are modifying our food lately, we could see corn the size of cows by 2050. I don't see hunger as a unresolved issue by then.

2015-12-03 02:34:24 UTC
Yes it is should be possible.we examined several of the issues associated with feeding a global population of nine billion people (two billion more than our current population) by 2050. This month I will discuss additional issues. Specifically we will look at rising incomes, urbanization, food waste, agricultural productivity, international trade and hunger.

Sadly I don't think so. We can't even feed all 7.3 billion people alive today. The situation is very sad. The people who are not "intelligent enough" to figure out that they can't afford to "feed children" are having the "most children." Then to make matters worse, the Catholic Church's presence in the Philippines is aggravating the already pervasive problem of overpopulation in that country since Catholic organizations there hamper the accessibility of contraceptive devices and pills. Indeed missionaries of all stripes are exacerbating the problems of out-of-control populations in Third World and developing world countries. Abstinence is a joke to most people in pre-industrialized societies and restricting contraception with the expectation that "abstinence measures will be followed" is a formula for disaster. Meanwhile, in the developed world many populations are "shrinking" because many educated people have record high student loan debt, and they work in occupations that don't pay well. The U.S. and other affluent countries are running out of resources to provide to the rest of the world. I fear that we will lose "tens of millions of babies" to starvation and disease from now until we reach the 9 billion number. This is a grim prediction, but an accurate one.

I think it will be impossible to feed such a large scale humans, by 2050 means 35 years later, I do not think human being could not solve food shortage problems by then. Even now many people died in hunger, I think system of supply food must be re-constracted as soon as possible.

2015-12-01 23:28:56 UTC
Yes, it is possible, but not likely. The leaders of the world today are greedy and corrupt, most of them, until this changes, there will never be an even distribution of wealth, hence, the world may not be able to feed 9billion people by 2050. Except of course, charitable organizations get very very lucky. :)

We can easily feed 9 billion people, in the US alone we throw away 50% of our edible foods, at the farm, at the grocery store and at home. I'd bet money we have the technology to feed 9 billion today if we as a society cared enough to do it.
?
2015-12-01 16:16:10 UTC
It is not nice but can be done. Africa will need gone into & forced to go to large scale farms by brute force. That way they would have a food surplus rather than starve every day. Diet will need change to more grain. Insects look good, Roof tops to grow on. Back yards used. Lots of room left to grow. Problem is were to get the water? Solve that & 20 billion can be fed if water is in the right place to use. 1 cow 20 acres to graze. Add water. 1 cow 2 acres to raise. There is the big question water were needed for cheap.

56 billion animals a year slaughtered and they take up over 80% of the cut down rainforest, they eat food that is cheap and that could feed billions. The meat industry also produces more of the top 3 greenhouse gases than other industries combined. So if we want to feed this volume of people we need to be more ethical to the animals, ourselves, and the planet.

no



the herd needs to be thinned out, frankly.



western aid should be withdrew from 3rd world countries. they're the ones overpopulating the planet by breeding too damn much at our expense,



people will whine about how americans, europeans or other 1st world people are too "greedy" with resources ( often these people are living in the 1st world themselves and no doubt use all the same resources ), but these countries are the most productive, economically, scientifically and otherwise. it's not your average middle class white woman in the USA, canada, UK, germany, australia etc who needs to cut down on the number of kids she's having, in fact western women aren't having enough kids to sustain the future population -- it's indians, pakis, africans, thais, filipinos, etc



as i said, withdraw aid and let natural selection take its course. because if we don't, a nuclear world war 3 will take care of the overpopulation problem we're having when a huge portion of humanity is wiped off the face of the earth.

Yes it is possible but people are really going to have to change especially western culture. I read this one post where they said that 10% of the United States milatary budget could've feed the world for 2 years. Not to mention all of the fast food restaurantz where if the food sits out for more then 30 min they just throw it out, and that today in north America far more people die form obesity then hunger. They literally kill themselves with gluttony and same goes for us I feel that if people don't learn to share soon were going bury ourselves in our own greed

Of course, most of the big countries produce about 140% of the food that is required, most of it is wasted at the production plants, supermarkets or tossed out at homes. So if you manage land capacity better and more technology, yes 9 billion people isn t unreasonable to feed if you do it right

I don't believe the world population will reach 9 billion by 2050.

Too many people will die of cancer by then, too much dodgy chemicals being put in food, too much doctors misdiagnosis and mistakes being unreported.

I work in a very busy hospital myself. I am tired of seeing patients being given the "do not ressucitate" note just so we get more beds available... Or only because the "system" tell us to do it which is very likely to be because it will save government money in the form of welfare benefits - It's an automated system.

Even our water is being added stuff that slow down our thinking. Too many things being added in what most people eat and drink will kill them a lot sooner than we expect in the form of cancer or dementia. Most of you will never blame those who fill our food with bad chemicals, or even question what you eat or drink, many of you will just think it's "FATE".

Given the huge amounts farmers in the UK have to throw away just because the cucumber/carrot/whatever is not straight enough - the right size, colour I would say no problem. HOWEVER 70/80% of American food is from or contaminated by Monsanto GM. Most of the rest of the World has banned it. Now the problem with genetic modifications is that they ae unstable and change. What if the modified GM food mutates and the result is food that tastes bad or rots really fast or poisons you. America would have to destroy millions of tons of food and buy everything from abroad.

Breast pumps and lactating women who live in luxurious castles with back rubs , manicures , pedicures and who are fed only the best foods and beverages with classical music playing in the background and lovely servants. . We would be milked like cows and the milk treated with natural flavorings sort of like yoghurts with real fruit inside.

After a time, these women could have bionic breasts installed that would not drag to the ground because it would be a gravity free breast milking facility .

I really do think the power of breasts is underrated and some of them could feed families of ten or more.

There would be financial reward and the women carefully screened and worshiped as semi deities.

Yes it's possible to feed that many people b 2015. The best way to make sure that more people are being fed is to have each of the individual eat the amount of food they are hungry for instead of eating more food than they need and should eat. There's some of people eat too fast that cause them to eat more. That's some of the people have Praider Willie syndrome which cause them to eat much more that the portion they need to eat. The best kind of food for people that eat more is food that are healthy like fruit and veggies. The restaurants and fast food need to stop selling Super sized meals. The another way to have enough food for billions of people is to have their own gardens in the backyard. Gardens really helps and it really save a lot of money. Another way to have enough food for everyone is to try not to waste food and don't buy too many foods while grocery shopping especially foods that will spoil and turn moldy if you buy some foods too soon. If anybody want to buy a lot of food in one shopping trip, you can put perishable, short period foods in the freezer to make it last longer.



If you see some cans of food that you no longer need orwant in your pantry, take it back to the store with receipt or take it to the foo bank for donation instead of tossing it in trash.

You really mean by 2050? People carjack now. By that year, people will housejack. People will kill you for clean water. Do you really want to bring a kid into that? Or do you want to contribute in that by having a kid? "But i want a KID! I hear someone saying. Well, you're selfish. Don't have kids. The world is now over and over-populated, and the Catholic Church should be blamed for over-population. They encourage population growth. The world is destroying itself. And if you don't believe me, mark my word. Someday, when that time come and you come to my house begging for just one sip of clean water, one of my women in camouflage slips will shoot at you with a sniper rifle or crossbow, defending me and my clean water.



So don't have kids. Don't kill my planet. Get a fix now. Or use condoms religiously.

When I was born the world population was 2 billion.Even then many people did not get enough to eat.Maybe about 10 billion people have died since I was born. Indeed a lot of food is being wasted in our world.A lot of food just gets plowed under to increase prises.

Of course! the sun energy falling on one state is enough for energy for the whole world!



the technical solution is EASY! we lack the political will. and We still have the mentality of pre-industrial revolution in 1800s. Before that all food was raised by

humans who had to eat it and have a SMALL surplus for others.



BUT we cannot ALL live like the American lifestyle, that would take the resources of about SIX entire "earths"



Americans have the equivalent of about 100 (roughly) energy slaves for EACH of 300 million Americans. If we were ancient Rome, living on slave labor and stolen wealth we would need 30 BILLION slaves, just who could control them? another 10 billion police?



but working together we CAN produce al we need, Assuming the population does not increase without limit . ( the only thing that keeps increasing is called a

"CANCER")



we only reached 1 billion in the early 1900 I think. we CANNOT keep "doubleing" every few decades, double only 10 times and the increase is 1,000 times.

Yes and very easily. Large vats in which high protein yeasts are grown which are then made into sausages and are then shipped out to the retailer food stores who then sell to the public.



A great deal is already known about yeasts. The ancient Egyptians discovered that by making their bread with yeast, it made it rise and thus made it possible to feed many more people - the whipped ice cream principal.

If we heed the advice of our Savior, Donald J. Trump, then I believe that we can achieve anything. We are so very fortunate the our Father has sent down his second son to bring us to salvation. Trump will bring us a solution, just as his brother Christ did, to feed the masses with just two loaves of bread. Even if he must make the choices which we are too weak to make, such as send back those who are leeching off our society and building a wall for our promised land, or having the willpower and piety to rain projectiles from the heavens to crush the infidels that threaten our city on the hill. Have faith, and he will come.

As long as we don't elect people who:



-Use corn to make ethanol. We use 40% of our production or this.

-Block off land from crop production

-Government regulations.



Here is something to chew over......a lot of oil is being transported by train. Because of that it's difficult to find available space to ship corn or wheat from the farms. Therefore a lot is wasted in the silo's. More oil pipelines would reduce the need of shipping by rail and would create space for shipping crops. Sadly that idea is blocked by Obama and the EPA.



In 2013 we had a bumper crop.....a lot of it is still sitting in silo's.

It is possible, but it may take some innovative uses of agriculture. You might be interested in the eco-modernist movement which has grown out of environmentalism. They stress that human growth and development around the world is tied to our doubling down on technical innovation to decrease the human ecological footprint and improve living standards. Generally, speaking they are "separatists" when it comes to humans and the natural world stating we need to de-couple humanity from the natural world because we manage to mess it up when we try to harmonize with it. One statement they use is: Nature left alone, is Nature spared.



Eco-modernism explicitly embraces substituting energy, technology, and synthetic solutions for “natural” ecological services. Among other things, eco-modernists embrace agricultural intensification, genetically modified and synthetic foods, desalination and waste recycling, urbanization, and substituting denser energy fuels for less dense fuels (e.g. substituting coal for wood and, ultimately, getting all energy from zero-carbon technologies like nuclear power--fusion power is especially interesting, and advanced renewables). Key among the goals of an eco-modern environmental ethic is the use of technology to intensify human activity and “make more room” for wild nature.



Given those efforts, it is possible to feed that many people. One myth eco-modernists challenge is that the human population will continue to explode until we are at crisis. They contend that as living standards improve, human birth rates tend to decline and will taper off if that continues. However, we need to take steps to nudge things in that direction.

Yes it is possible. It takes 2.1 hectares of land and water to provide for the average human being. Earth only has 4.1 billion hectares of arable land and the vast majority of it that can be farmed is being farmed. The way we consume and waste food now it is not possible though. We would have to become more efficient with our food consumption and not be wasteful and we would need to become vegetarians to support 9 billion people.

No, it is not possible for the would to support that many people. But, hunger won't kill nearly as many of them as not having clean water to drink, or even basic medical care. As it stands NOW, every two seconds-----a child dies from a preventable cause---that's 30 kids per minute, that's 1,800 children per hour, or 43,200 kids every day---weekends and holidays included. Death doesn't take vacations.
