I's an important question, but we rarely ask it. We take It or granted that we will, find food in any restaurant or supermarket that we walk into. It’s almost magic! Many of us don’t think about agriculture at all. Many of us don't know who grew our food, who harvested i or how it got trom the farm to the city. But without good, healthy food, wo—and our ties —won't survive. Cacolyn Stee! is an architect who studies how ‘ancient food routes shaped our modem cities. By understanding how city dwellers have gotten their food in the past, she thinks we can come up with better ways to produce and distribute food in the cities of the future. By 2050, twice as many people wil ive in citios 1 do now. We will consume twice as much meat and dairy as we do today. This modern det, heavy in meat, airy, and processed food, requires enormous amounts of energy 10 produce. That energy mostly comes from fossil fuels, which are not renewable. We're also using fossil fuels to clear milions of acres of rainforest each year for planting crops and then to trangpor the crops to cities around the world, f we don't change the way that food is produced, we will have a serious problem, Iti be very dificult to feed everyone.
