16 Nov 2022 --- The world has reached a new record of population growth. The United Nations (UN) announced on Tuesday that there are now 8 billion people on earth, a growth expected to continue and reach 10.4 billion by 2080, calling it a “milestone for humanity.” However, an increased number of people may pose additional pressures on food security, climate change and quality of life. The UN stresses that rapid population growth is accelerating poverty and making it more challenging to combat hunger and malnutrition.
