C) À farming community struggles to produce enough food to feed its large population.

The population has increased exponentially in the past 100 years - going from 2 billion in 1930 to 7.8 billion in 2020 (source: Worldometer).

With increasing urbanisation as well as advancements in technology and the expansion of tertiary and quaternary job sector choices, the number of farmers has decreased (due to poor incentive).

There is also a struggle to provide enough land for cattle and crops to feed people with meat-based diets.

With climate change/use of insecticides such as neonicotinoids it can result in drought/el Nino effects and colony collapse disorder of bees which threatens agriculture as a whole.
