Australian researchers claim there may not be enough food to feed the estimated global population by 2050.

Professor Mark Tester from the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the University of Adelaide says the impact of climate change will test our ability to increase or sustain crop yields.

Australia has enough food to sustain itself; other countries face an uncertain future…

New food production techniques are required, but Governments’ strong stance on genetically modified food is causing issues.

So, is a global food shortage a possibility?

And should we worry about going hungry?
