Answer preview

Three main components characterize the food crisis equation. First is income, lifestyle, and level of consumption. Second is technological advancements determining the extent to which the external environment is damaged, while the third is inequality. The higher the population, the higher the increase in poverty, preventing the adoption of more appropriate ways of preventing environmental degradation, which impacts individuals. Population acts as the multiplier determining how land is allocated to the poor and the rich. For instance, most lands are owned by the rich, while the poor are left to live on small holdings where technological ways of production are not practiced (Searchinger, Waite, Hanson, Ranganathan, & Dumas, 2019). The more the population, the higher the poverty level and inequality, which impacts the environment and greatly impacts food production.
