The population 4 be as large as 6,300 million, almost 2,500 million more than that in 1975. 5 people would move into cities, especially cities in 6 countries. Cities like Cairo and Jakanta 7 would each have 15 million by then. Food production will increase, but not enough to feed all the people. Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1975, but most of the increase would be in countries that 8 produce enough food for their people. 9 increase is grown in South Asia, Africa and European countries. Poor farming ways are 10 large areas of cropland, changing farms into 11 . More farmland is lost 12 cities become larger and houses are built.
