What many people do not realize is that there will be large regions of the world affected by food scarcity where hundreds of millions of people can compete with many less well-off Europeans on food prices.
It is not that upper middle class people in China or Brazil will stop to feed their children because food becomes expensive. The thing is that this upper middle class will soon count more people than Europe has as a whole.

For thosewho cant compete, there will be increased emmigration pressure. Call it exodus. Europe is notprepared to either house or reject millions of starving and angry people.
