CONTRIBUTED BY 3 KEY FACTORS:
• 1. INCREASE IN POPULATION PUTS PRESSURE ON NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES – FOOD, LAND, FORESTS, FOSSIL FUEL, MARINE RESOURCES; POLLUTION OF LAND, RIVERS, LAKES, SEAS; WASTE MANAGEMENT; DEPLETED RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER, BIODIVERSITY, AIR
• 2. INDISCRIMINATE DEFORESTATION• 3. SOLAR RADIATION

PEOPLE & POPULATION INCREASE
• Malthusian concerns on geometrical population increase which means more mouths to feed; from 26.6 million (now) to probably 37 million Malaysians by 2020, or exceed 70 million people by 2050. Study the birthrate and the changing demography, changing food & dietary habits must be deciphered in addressing future trends in eating habits and food preference; and also food services sector growth. The challenge is finding the comprehensive solution to feed the people in the future NEXT

• Depletion of Non-Renewable, fossil fuels (petroleum) to cause price increase; hence petroleum-based FERTILISERS & PESTICIDES become costly.
Global Warming / Climate Change

ii. Changing Rains and bring both Floods and Droughts (Droughts – Crop failure; Floods – to coastal lands rendering to increased salinity
iii. Delayed Monsoons by 10 -15 days. It will then affect the blooming periods. That in turn affect the fruit set and behaviour of the pollinators (honeybees, bats, birds, etc.). Delayed monsoons means delayed fruiting season and harvesting time. That also means delayed mating season and flora-fauna abundance and distribution !!The whole fauna-flora ecosystem is definitely altered/shifted!
Climate Change affect Agriculture by:

SPECIFIC GOALS• 1. Manage pop. growth and physical dev.• 2. Restore, conserve and protect
biodiversity• 3. Food and fibre security through S.
Agric.• 4. Sustainable business & economics,
policies & laws• 5. Develop clean power and energy

Strategy 1. Manage Population Growth and Physical Development • Review policies and formulate
strategies to encourage family planning
• Encourage pop. Distribution away from high density areas such as Klang Valley, Penang-Seberang Prai, Johor Baru to low density areas such as the East Coast of PM and the eastern Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah
• Promote the development of small towns and rural communities
![Page 49: Agenda for a Sustainable Malaysia - Talk to Astro](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547f8629b4af9f1c688b4581/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Strategy 2 – Restore, Conserve and Protect Biodiversity
• Establish nature and marine parks & manage them sustainably, guided by integrated management plans
• Manage sustainably forests that have been assigned for commercial logging
• Encourage tree planting with appropriate preferably indigenous spp. In schools, cities & rural communities
• Impose severe penalties for illegal logging and trading in rare, endangered and protected spp
• Conserve heritage trees• Establish natural history
museums with botanical gardens in each state

Stop ravaging Nature,
Lest we perish,
She’s ours to revere,
Ours to cherish
Alam usah dimusnah,
Kelak kita binasa,
Alam satu amanah,
Disanjung dipelihara.
