• Give examples of alternative energies to supply the need for more energy in future.
• Hypothesize about the consequences on future food production

 After your presentation one of the guests from New Zealand is having a nice cup of coffee with you and you chat about future cities and new technologies. In your conversation you come across the following issues:
