Early this year there was lots of talk about the prediction that by 2050 our population on earth will be over 9 billion people.
The question that goes along with these numbers – is how can everyone be fed with this many people, and where will it grow? An infographic animation produced by the World Wildlife Fund called Change the way you think about food asks this question.
The piece gives information graphics and visualizations to present a picture of what would happen if we could freeze the footprint of food by doubling the productivity of farming. The piece indicates that to grow enough food, everything will have to change.
This is the first piece I have seen that uses information visualization effectively to raise questions about our growing population and our food supply.
