Most of the world’s most valuable food crops are grown in the tropics and major crops. Crops and plants which are disease free are a great economic and social importance of feeding the world (Donaldson 155). As noticed, several obvious questions emerging when looking ahead. However, some observers find it easy to give negative answers to these questions. Undeniably, the price paid of agricultural achievements has included massive transformation has included the massive transformation of natural ecosystems and deepening dependence on fossil fuels, the process which have resulted in an already significant alteration of bishopric cycle and growing environment pollution. Some indications that the rate of which we have been able to extract the food from the biosphere has begun to slow down and are seen as a manifestation of biophysical limits already circumscribing the world’s food production capacity.
In general terms, the dietary transition ushered in by the industrialization during the nineteenth century has evolved the extension of an adequate supply of staple to all but some disadvantaged segments of the population. Considerable enrichment of previous diets, and democratization of taste are evident in such diverse ways as mass consumption of coffee, tea and chocolate and great attention to the appearance of food. This transformation advances in several stages. Demand elasticity is particularly high at relatively low-income levels. Rural populations are emerging from substance farming and increasing their earnings by selling their farms products or by participating in a variety of nonfarm activities initially spend a large part of their rising disposable income on buying both more and higher quality staples and consuming more nonstaple foodstuffs. Higher family earnings have similar effects among poor urban populations.
