Scarce natural resources
Natural resources are increasingly getting scarce. Both an economy based on mineral fuels as an economy based on renewable energy need huge amounts of scares resources, being it natural gas, or metals for power cells. Also the internet based economy is a huge consumer of energy and rare metals.
Agricultural production is also using considerable amounts of fossil fuel and phosphate, which will be used up in the near future. Next to that climate change and soil degradation threatens future crop production. Countries like China and Saudi-Arabia are therefore already claiming considerable areas in Africa to secure their food production.
