Global Population

This chapter investigates the possibility that the tourism industry, as we cur- rently know it, will significantly change and perhaps will not exist in the future. Some topics will be discussed in the realm of plausible futures, meaning that they may not happen, however it’s a possibility and in the event it does occur, the tourism industry should be prepared. The topics discussed in this chapter include having an understanding of the reliance of natural resources in the travel, hospitality and event sectors; global population growth; food security; the impact of war on tourism; and the moral considerations associated with certain tourist experiences. Pandemics including Covid-19 are mentioned in Chapters 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 14. The case study focuses on food security and the dangers of depleting the quantity of food around the globe, along with the availability of quality nutritional food. It also explores the changes in the types of food supplied to the tourism, hospitality and event sectors, and provokes consideration of the disparity between the wealthy and populations born into poverty.

Global Population

This chapter assesses the argument that the practical consequences of everyone's enjoying adequate nutrition—and especially the allegedly resultant global “population explosion”—would make the fulfillment of subsistence rights impracticable, however genuine the rights may be at a theoretical level. It would hurt the future poor. These population objections rest upon a thesis about inevitable deprivation: deprivation that is inevitable unless population growth is slowed by means of the international refusal to fulfill subsistence rights. If indeed the world now has, or soon will have, an absolute shortage of vital resources, then some people will simply have to do without the necessities for survival. On this thesis about the explanation of deprivation, the unavoidable deprivations resulting from the supposed excess of people are taken to be as purely natural as any social phenomenon could be, and attempting to provide social guarantees against the resultant starvation is made to look quixotic.

Do So

AbstractIn the 1650s, after a century of increase, the population of England stopped growing. It was not to increase substantially again before 1750. Over the same interval, and not wholly coincidentally, scholars and theologians were trying to defend the orthodox account of how global population had increased since the Creation and must continue to do so, and the first political arithmeticians were trying to measure and analyse demographic change. This article seeks to throw fresh light on this many-sided discourse by examining William Petty's attempt to write an account of the multiplication of mankind, and the reasons why he failed to complete it. It focuses particularly on Petty's part in developing methods of measuring population density which highlighted the potential for future growth, and on the equally important demonstration by John Graunt that high and rising mortality in cities was hindering population growth in reality. As Petty's cousin Robert Southwell pointed out, Graunt's ‘rule of mortality’ was wholly incompatible with any coherent account of the future multiplication of mankind. At the end of this particular discourse, newly discovered facts about demography triumphed over the presuppositions of divinity.

The City

The food crisis is one of the issues that is currently being discussed and is predicted to occur in the future, even though Indonesia itself is an agricultural country, the food crisis cannot be avoided if it is not addressed from now on. The development and population growth of the Indonesian population, especially Jabodetabek, has made the need for food to continue to increase while the availability of land is decreasing. As a result of population growth, the need for land for housing and other activities is getting higher so that land for agriculture is increasingly displaced and away from cities. The farmer profession is also under threat due to the slow development of technology in the food sector. The future of Dwelling discusses the human lifestyle, which is affected by many factors that exist in the present. Cilincing Agro Residence is here as The Future of Dwelling and a solution to the problems of land, food, and the farmer profession itself. The lifestyle changes that have occurred in cities due to Covid-19 has shown people's interest in the process of farming. Technology helps greatly to work as a farmer so that he can now do the process of farming in the middle of the city. This project aims to bring the food supply process closer to urban areas so that it is closer to consumers, and the process is faster and more efficient. Located in the Cilincing area with the existing industrial area, warehousing, and rice fields that will develop into the Marunda economic center and residential area. This project exists as an example of modern agriculture in economic centers and settlements to achieve food security on an environmental to the urban scale. Keywords: Dwelling; Food crisis; Food security; House farming AbstrakKrisis pangan menjadi salah satu isu yang ramai dibahas saat ini dan diprediksi akan terus terjadi di masa mendatang. Walaupun Indonesia merupakan negara agraris, krisis pangan tidak dapat dihindari jika tidak ditanggapi dari sekarang. Perkembangan dan pertumbuhan populasi penduduk Indonesia khususnya Jabodetabek, membuat kebutuhan pangan terus meningkat sementara ketersediaan lahan semakin sedikit. Akibat dari pertumbuhan populasi, kebutuhan lahan untuk tempat tinggal dan aktivitas lainnya semakin tinggi sehingga lahan untuk pertanian semakin tergeser dan jauh dari kota. Profesi petani juga terancam karena lambatnya perkembangan teknologi di sektor pangan. Masa depan berhuni membahas mengenai gaya hidup manusia, yang terdampak oleh banyak faktor yang ada di masa sekarang. Cilincing Agro Residence hadir sebagai masa depan berhuni dan solusi dari masalah lahan, pangan, dan profesi petani itu sendiri. Perubahan gaya hidup yang terjadi di perkotaan akibat Covid-19 memperlihatkan ketertarikan masyarakat dalam proses bercocok tanam. Pekerjaan sebagai petani sangat terbantu dengan teknologi sehingga kini dapat melakukan proses bercocok tanam di tengah kota. Proyek ini bertujuan untuk mendekatkan proses penyediaan bahan pangan ke area perkotaan, sehingga lebih dekat kepada konsumen, prosesnya pun lebih cepat dan efisien. Berlokasi di kawasan Cilincing yang merupakan kawasan industri, pergudangan dan persawahan akan berkembang menjadi pusat ekonomi Marunda dan daerah permukiman. Proyek ini hadir sebagai contoh pertanian modern di pusat ekonomi dan permukiman untuk mencapai sekuritas pangan dalam skala lingkungan hingga kota.

Irrigated agriculture is expected to play a major role in reaching the broader development objectives of achieving food security and improvements in the quality of life, while conserving the environment, in both the developed and developing countries. Especially as we are faced with the prospect of global population growth from almost 6 billion today to at least 8 billion by 2025 [1].

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak pandemic is now a global crisis. It has caused 1.6+ million confirmed cases and 100 000+ deaths at the time of writing and triggered unprecedented preventative measures that have put a substantial portion of the global population under confinement, imposed isolation, and established ‘social distancing’ as a new global behavioral norm. The COVID-19 crisis has affected all aspects of everyday life and work, while also threatening the health of the global economy. This crisis offers also an unprecedented view of what the global climate crisis may look like. In fact, some of the parallels between the COVID-19 crisis and what we expect from the looming global climate emergency are remarkable. Reflecting upon the most challenging aspects of today’s crisis and how they compare with those expected from the climate change emergency may help us better prepare for the future.

Regulatory Trends

This chapter begins with a breakdown of recent growth trends for the overall commodities market. However, the long-term future of the market will heavily depend on three pressing issues: excess supply, increased regulations, and algorithmic trading. The section on excess supply explores how traders are changing strategies to adjust to the current imbalance between supply and demand, especially in the steel industry, and how that imbalance might change in the future based on global population trends and climate change concerns. The next section examines several regulatory trends, including the dramatic exodus of some investment banks from certain segments of the commodities market followed by a section focusing on how algorithmic trading is influencing how commodities are traded. A discussion of potential scenarios for the commodities market follows. The chapter concludes by examining a few ways in which the market and commodity traders may both survive and even thrive in the future.
