1. But rock phosphate is a finite resource and the biggest supplies are mined in politically unstable places, posing risks to the many countries that have little or no reserves.

2. Phosphate use has increased in the last 50 years as the global population has grown and the date when it is estimated to run out gets closer with each new analysis of demand.

3. With some scientists projecting that moment could come as soon as a few decades’ time.

4. “Phosphate supply is potentially a very big problem,” said Martin Blackwell, at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural research centre in the UK, and lead author of a new study. “Currently the population is growing and we are going to need more food.”

5. “In a few years' time, it could be a political issue with some countries effectively controlling the production of food by having control of rock phosphate supplies,” Blackwell said.

Объяснение:

Як на мене, то я дуже люблю театр, особливо Театр української драми імені Івана Франка.

Я надзвичайно ціную трупу цього театру. Мені подобаються традиційні театральні декорації, майстерно зроблені костюми. І, звичайно, це дуже важливо, які п'єси знаходяться в репертуарі. Київський театр української драми завжди ретельно добирає п'єси для його репертуару.

Іноді дуже важко дістати квитки на спектакль.

Недавно я відвідав Театр української драми, де я бачив п'єсу «Благочестива Марта» іспанського драматурга Лопе де Вега.

Головні ролі в спектаклі були зіграні відомими акторами. У цілому, цей спектакль має чудовий склад.

Цього разу наші місця були в другому ряду партеру. Перед початком ми купили програму.

У цьому спектаклі багато музики. Але чим я особливо насолодився в цій виставі було почуття гумору, яке пройшло крізь увесь спектакль.

Я вважаю, це була одна з найкращих робіт, яку я побачив у цьому сезоні.

As for me I like theatre very much, especially, The Ivan Franko Ukrainian Drama Theatre.

I highly appreciate the cast of this theatre. I like the traditional scenery, skill-made costumes. And, of course, it's very important what plays are in the repertoire. The Kyiv Ukrainian Drama Theatre always chooses the plays for its repertoire very thoroughly.

Sometimes it is very difficult to get tickets to the performance.

Not long ago I visited The Ukrainian Drama Theatre, where I saw the play "The Pious Martha" by the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega.

The leading parts in the performance were played by the well-known actors. Generally speaking this production has an excellent cast.

This time our seats were in the second row of the pit. Before the beginning of the performance we bought a bill.

There is a lot of music in this production. But what I especially enjoyed in this performance was the sense of humour which permeated the whole performance.

I consider it was one of the best performances I have seen this season.
