Quietly and seemingly out of sight, governments, private investors and mercenaries are working to seize food and water resources at the expense of entire populations. The future world powers will be those who control not oil, but food. And it’s all beginning to bubble to the surface in real time. Global food prices have hit an all-time high, threatening chaos and violence. Sober assessments by world leaders and the international intelligence community have found that within a decade, fresh water shortages will be rippling through the world, turning farmland into dust and triggering violent conflicts. By 2030, the demand for freshwater will outpace supply by 40 percent. It has become the greatest threat facing the planet, surpassing nuclear war, terrorism and climate change, according to security experts. The Grab unfolds a remarkable story of greed and fear at the dawn of the 21st century.
