Research Forecasts Significant Global Resource Disparities by 2050

A new study co-authored by MIT researchers predicts substantial global disparities in access to food, water, and energy by 2050. The research, published in Earth's Future, indicates that lower-income individuals in some regions could spend approximately 50% of their income on food, compared to about 5% for higher-income groups. This modeling highlights critical future challenges in resource security across different income levels and regions.
