EAT, the New Food Revolution is the cover story in the May 2014 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Executive editor Dennis Dimmick, analyzes how we are to feed the increasing human population. In order to feed 9 billion people, the global food output would need to double. Dimmick warns that as socieities become more developed, they increase their meat and dairy intake, which requires more energy and land resources. The majority of corn and soy grown is utilized for livestock feed, biofuels, and high fructose cornsyrup. He believes large scale and small scale farming will both be neccessary to provide food for the world into the future.
