[2]Thanks to rising agricultural productivity,lean years are rarer all over the globe.According to the UN,the number of people short of food fell from 920 million in 1980 to 799 million 20 years later,even though the world’s population increased by 1.6 billion over the period.This is mostly a cause for celebration.Mankind has won what was,for most of his time on this planet,his biggest battle:to ensure that he and his offspring had enough to eat.But every silver lining has a cloud,and the result of prosperity is a new trouble.
