Cereal Killer | Food fibre and forest product
This infographic refers to the 2007 IPCC report about the global warming, with particular focus on food, fibre and forest production.
The data analysis highlights a huge impact on the soil capacity according to the forecast about a rise of the temperature in the next decades.
Despite the positive effect on the crop production in the short term, in 2080 the scenario expected is alarming.
The topside of this visualization shows how the temperature would affect the cereals production (maize, rice and wheat) and how this could directly influence the global percentage of the people at risk of hunger.
The growth of the population and the simultaneous decrease in crop production do not allow the balance between supply and demand: between 2050 and 2080 this gap could cause negative social-economic effects.
The second part visualizes the relations between Humanity and the other actors of the system. Main relations link Humanity with Livestock, Agriculture and Forestry (medium level), which are themselves connected with Soil and Atmosphere. This second level of the system is where the effect of the Global Warming are firstly received. Than, by the connection with the medium level, these effects would fall on Humanity.
The title of the poster encloses the whole meaning: global warming has effects on cereals and their absence causes the death of Humanity. Humanity is also the first cause of the temperature increase, so it is like a sort of self destruction.
The only way to stop this vicious circle is by changing the human behaviors. Humanity can't act directly on Soil and Atmosphere, but can try to do concrete actions against the Global Warming in order to save cereals and also itself.
