Lord Bird on the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill

Abstract

The sudden and extreme threats to global food supply posed by nuclear winter, super-volcanoes, or large asteroid impacts are analyzed in the article. The fallout of nuclear winter is modeled, showing drastic crop yield losses, which would lead to food shortages, especially for the global poor. Technological solutions for post-disaster food production are explored, and issues of affordability and cooperation for food distribution are discussed. – AI-generated abstract.
