Of the forests that were cut, 75% were removed to make room for farmland or for mining. Desertification has occurred in many deforested areas. The other 25% of deforestation occurred to make room for urban sprawl for an expanding population. Temperatures have risen globally and many species of trees can no longer thrive in the hot temperatures.2 Agriculture LawBackground: In 2050, the earth mostly grows just three crops: corn, soy, and wheat. There are only three major agriculture companies that supply all the seeds, which are all GMOs. There is a small percentage of organic farmers. Fresh water has become scarce in 2050. Cattle are still raised in feedlots and slaughtered. About 65% of the earth's population are regular meat eaters.3 Mining LawIn 2050, almost all rare metals have disappeared. Scientists are working on making alternatives. In the meantime, there is much conflict in the areas that have remaining metals. Also, almost all rainforests have been destroyed in the Congo and Brazil, in search of mining the last of the resources.
