problems never hit headlines

Onee xample

agriculture

Food riots and hunger make
news
．
But the
trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked
about
．
This is the decline in the growth in
yields of some of the world
'

．
A new study by the
University of Minnesota and McGill
University in Montreal looks at where
．
and how far
．
this decline is
occurring
．
The authors take a vast number of data
points for the four most important crops
：
rice
，
wheat
，
corn and
soyabeans

．
They find that
on between 24
％
and 39
％

areas
，
the improvement in yields
that took place before the l980s slowed down in
the l990s and
2000s
．
There are two
worrying features of the slowdown
．
One
is that it
has been particularly sharp in the world

themselves has been an important source of

Second
，
yield growth has been lower
in wheat and
around half of all
calories consumed
rice than in coll and
soyabeans
．
This is problematic because wheat and
rice are more important as foods

．
The authors
note that
“

billion people in 2050
，
as the Food and Agriculture
