Some people like to debate if there will be enough farmland in the future to sustain the global population. But eventually, they figured out that the farmlands they currently had were failing, and desertification started taking place in many places... all across the globe. Farmers, espiecially ones who only farm crops, go out of business, people who ship food go out of business, and stores like Whole Foods become very, very sparse. Food prices hike, and for places where food was already expensive, like Barrow, Alaska, where a pizza costs about $17, their prices are now at unimaginable highs. Towns that are cut off from bigger cities (like Barrow, Alaska) see anarchy, food prices that reach almost $50, and a decrease in population. Towns like those are quickly wiped off the map in this world-wide famine. Resteraunts go out of business, food processing factories go out of business, stock prices everywhere plummit dramatically, and the world is in a terrible state. Governments fall, whilst struggling to keep everything calm and under control. Soon enough, whole third world countries become non-existant, like African countries, the Middle East, South East Asia, and North Korea. And as those countries fall, larger countries take over their land, and attempt to farm something. Will the world ever recover?

(This one is for after one or more of these events, and this can be modified to fit whatever event(s) take plcae before it)

The world is dead, or abandoned. Once bustling places like New York City, the city that never sleeps, are quiet. Through the rubble, one person rises. Then another, and another. Slowly, populations come out of the rubble, and take in what has happened. Along the streets are citizens holding candles and flashlights, as dawn breaks. You'd think not much would happen at a time like this, but you would be wrong. As people recover, they start forming large groups, which become communities, and they claim land. This conflicts with the other communities around them, causing small wars. At least we all know a world war won't happen for a while.
