August 28/Toronto/CTVNews.ca -- Experts kicking off World Water Week have issued a dire warning: If humans do not change their habits, the global population may have to abandon its meat-heavy meals or risk facing a food supply crisis by the year 2050.
According to a report released at the start of the week-long water conference in Stockholm, Sweden, there are already nearly one billion people around the world suffering from hunger and malnourishment. And that number has been rising in spite of per capita food production increases in recent decades.
