Title: Ensuring Enough Food for the Future 

                           Topic: How to ensure we maintain the food chain supply for future generations. 

Purpose Statement: To provide achievable solutions for our future generations.

 

  

I. Introduction 

A. Attention Getter: UN estimates suggest we will need to produce 70 percent more food by 2050 to meet increased global demand.

  

B. Audience Motivation Statement: If we cannot find a solution to this problem your children or grandchildren will grow up in a world where food is scarce.

  

C. Your Own Credibility Statement: This has been a personal concern for all of us since discovering the information available. This dilemma has created concern for bringing children into a world that may not have the resources to support life for everyone. Our research on this subject goes far beyond the 8 weeks or so of work going into this project.

  

D. Thesis Statement: 

This paper will provide sustainable solutions for our generation, as well as future generations, to provide a future without famine. We will cover the issues of commercial farming, the issues with the current market, and lastly what we as individuals can do to make a difference. Instead of just point out the issues we will try to provide solutions to these problems.
