Increased famine

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

• Increased famine

• Energy shortages

The rate of growth of the population is higher than that of the output of the production of food, energy, or water.

This, added to the phenomenon of inequality in the distribution of wealth, will directly affect the quality of life of the lower income populations.
