Wired magazine info porn - World Food Supply and Demand Diverge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What Works<\/h3>\n

This is a simple concept, displayed beautifully. The demand for food will outstrip our current ability to produce it.<\/p>\n

What Needs Work<\/h3>\n

Since the timeline is already marching along the x-axis I want to see some context. Tell me when Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug revolutionized agriculture and increased yields by orders of magnitude. Show me how global population maps onto the demand for food. Tell me if I should be concerned about the growing Chinese and Indian middle classes who will probably demand more meat (and hence more land per kcalorie). This data is out there and adding it to this graphic would have elevated it from simply beautiful, to being both beautiful and smart.<\/p>\n
