Mark Twain stated, “The art of prophecy is very difficult—especially with respect to the future.” Uncertainty presents an experience that is both challenging and humbling for students and teachers of applied mathematics. The headline of an article by Jean H. Lee published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on February 28, 2001, read “World Population May Rise by 3 Billion in 50 Years.” On March 1, 2001, another headline in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel read “As the Population Shrinks: Burden of an Aging World.” When students analyze population data, they understand how such divergent headlines as these examples can both be accurate. The topics discussed in this article are designed to develop new insights regarding population data.

A growing and aging world population and the increasing strain on nature's ecosystems are among the major challenges facing humanity. As a global leader in health and nutrition, Bayer is able to play a key role in devising solutions to tackle these challenges. Guided by its purpose "Science for a better life," it delivers breakthrough innovations in health care and agriculture. It contributes to a world in which diseases are not only treated but effectively prevented or cured, in which people can take better care of their own health needs, and in which enough agriculture products are produced while respecting the planet's natural resources. That is because at Bayer, it is believed that growth and sustainability should go hand in hand. In short, they are working to make their vision "Health for all, hunger for none" a reality.

This concluding chapter looks at the future of water. There are two possible paths for managing water. First, if the world continues with inadequate governance and institutions, incorrect market signals, and insufficient innovations to improve efficiency and manage competing demands, most chronic water and scarcity problems will continue to worsen. The world will see a future of declining water security, freshwater ecosystem degradation, and increasing disputes and conflicts over remaining water resources. The alternative path to managing water is the one offered by this book. If, in anticipation of the coming decades of increasing water scarcity, humankind is able to develop appropriate governance and institutions for water management, instigate market and policy reforms, and address global management issues, then improved innovation and investments in new water technologies and better protection of freshwater ecosystems should secure sufficient beneficial water use for a growing world population.

The Government

In the context of poverty reduction, the Government mandates the distribution of Non-Cash Food Assistance. Non-Cash Food Aid, hereinafter abbreviated as BPNT, is a policy of the Central Government in the form of food social assistance in the form of non-cash given to Beneficiary Families (KPM) every month through electronic accounts and is only used to buy food in E-warong in collaboration with banks. In BPNT distribution management in Rembang Regency, the planning aspect begins with the data collection and validation of population data, with the aim of channeling BPNT on target. Organizing is done in coordination between the Ministry of Social Affairs, Social Services, Women's Empowerment and Family Planning District. Rembang, BNI, and e-warong agents in each district. The implementation was carried out in stages, by distributing non-cash assistance of Rp 110,000.00 per family. Supervision is carried out in coordination with BNI, because the distribution system uses electronic money. The obstacle faced is that there are still residents who are eligible for assistance, but have not been distributed by BPNT. So in the future there needs to be up to date data validation. In the future, the distribution will be more on target.

Worldwide agriculture is facing many challenges. A fast growing world population, a changing climate and an increasing need for sustainability call for immediate solutions to guarantee environmental, social and economic stability. An important contribution will have to come from innovative plant research. However, despite that there is more and more scientific and political attention for problems related to agriculture, there is still little investment in this field of research. It will be important that this will change and that we start to realize that investing in plant research is an investment in the future of our society.

ABSTRACTWithin the stable political context of the Antarctic Treaty regime, science has flourished, achieving considerable prominence and an increasing global relevance. Issues such as stratospheric ozone depletion and enhanced ultraviolet effects, environmental and climatic archive from ice cores, detection of anthropogenic pollution, study of global climate change (such as the carbon cycle and sea level), and analysis of unique collections of meteorites have attracted and focused unprecedented international attention on Antarctica. In the future, major challenges will continue to emerge in Antarctic science, driven by conceptual breakthroughs, innovative field research, and rapidly developing technology. Today's fashionable topics such as global wanning, biodiversity, thecarbon pump, and ozone loss may soon fade. What will replace them remains uncertain. The study of the coupling of presently diverse whole-earth systems appears a possibility: the biogeochemical coupling of landmasses, oceans, and ice geared to the study and provision of new food resources, to meet the demands of a world population in exponential growth, will feature considerably in the next century and involve much Antarctic research. Future science will develop against a backdrop of heightening external pressures: (1) the competing demands from the AntarcticTreaty System, including environmental concerns and possible operating restrictions, and the requirement to provide expert opinion from specialised research, (2) increasing problems of the coordination of an expanding and diverse scientific community, (3) the high cost and level of sophistication of modern research, and (4) accountability, particularly in respect of quality scientific results. Within each of these areas national programmes will assess and determine priorities for the future, which will severely test existing systems for collaboration, logistics sharing, and financial underpinning. Attention will need to be directed at a critical evaluation of the international mechanisms and frameworks for establishing the details of the Antarctic scientific agenda, and its meshing with discipline-based research in general.
