facing a difficulty: food chain in the midwest

 Midwest facing coice between crops and water

The middle east and places in north Africa have been forced to choose between being able to grow more crops, or preserve their supply of water. Their population has already increased rapidly within the years and is predicted to reach  nearly 600 million by the year 2050. And this isnt a good thing, because each persons amount of food is already scarce, and by the year 2050 it will be about half of what they get now. I think that this is a very hard choice to make, because water is a must, and so is food. i think that either way they go it will lead to disaster.
