Collapse Assignment 2 draft

Our advancements have on top of giving us countless digital toys made food production easier, allowing for a great increase in population. With the unpredicted growth of population came the need to sustain that population. More and more food needed to be produced. For a while this was fine and good - oil allowed more incredible quantities of low quality food to be produced and distributed, however that source will soon be diminished and a hungry population will suffer.
