Visualizations of a food crisis

Imagine a world where natural resources can no longer provide for the human population. Now imagine this happening in just 35 years’ time.

Gemma Warriner did just that for her student project, Twenty-Fifty.

Over a series of eight data visualization posters, Gemma explores the causes of a future food crisis. Looking at population growth, urbanisation, food production, food waste, genetic modification, climate change, consumption trends and crop diversity she elegantly overlays stunning photography with simple data viz.

Gemma created Twenty-Fifty whilst a student at the University of Technology, Sydney with the help of her mentor, Dr Kate Sweetapple.
