Feeding the World! Where to from here?

One planet, set space, increasing pace......

So where to from here? - to give you a taste of the impact that population growth is having - not the knock on effects- but instead just the hard numbers - I decided to have a quick look at the global changes since last year.....

05 August, 2013 to 03 May,2014 (300 DAYS!) - the changes show a trend that anyone should want to have a look at - it is simply amazing!

I illustrate for your own consumption and thought here the change in the global population over the last 300 days -:

People: 
World population as at 16:40 UTC on 03 May,2014 7,230,690,460
 
World population as at 10:18 on 05 August, 2013: 7,169,999,605

Difference 300 days has made: 60,690,855 new lives for this planet to support!
