A decision making exercise (set up as a lesson) looking at future options for feeding Egypt's growing population. Egypt’s climate is changing. Over the next few decades the country is expected to become even hotter and drier than it already is. Presently, oil makes up 25% of Egypt’s exports but this is predicted to run out by 2070. At the same time, the population is expected to grow by tens of millions more people. The Government will need to find a SUSTAINABLE way to feed all these extra mouths very soon. Option 1: Turn more of the Sahara Desert into irrigated farmland by flooding the Qattara Depression Option 2: Build sea defences around the farmland in the Nile Delta of northern Egypt Option 3: Bomb the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam to allow more of the Nile’s water to flow down to Egypt Option 4: Support the use of agricultural fertilisers by lowering the price of farm chemicals
