Can the earth feed us?



Abstract
Shortage of food on a global scale is increasing every day as the size of the worlds' population grows. In addition, climate change raises new and future problems for local food production. Food shortage has no simple, straight forward solution. Possible solutions should encompass not only political and environmental issues, but also multicultural issues such as differences in culture, religion and diet. Food is a necessity in the life of every student and therefore relevant and easy to relate to. The context promotes students' multicultural thinking and fundamental values.
