What name can be given to a community or society that is undesirable or frightening, a good example of which is offered in the 2014 American post-apocalyptic film 'The Last Survivors' directed and co-written by Thomas Hammock and in which a shortage of water is a key part of the story line?

It stars Haley Lu Richardson, Booboo Stewart, Nicole Fox, Jacqueline Emerson, Max Charles, Michael Welch and Rena Owen Set in Oregon, the film centers around a dystopian world with a shortage of water.
Food Race American environmental author Daniel Quinn coined the term Food Race (by analogy to the Cold War's "nuclear arms race") to describe an understanding of the current overpopulation emergency as a perpetually escalating crisis between growing human population and growing food production, fueled by the latter. Quinn argues that as the worldwide human population increases, the typical international response is to more intensely produce and distribute food to feed these greater numbers of people. However, assuming that population increases according to increased food availability, Quinn argues that this response only ends up leading to an even larger population and thus greater starvation in the end. Therefore, Quinn's clear solution to the Food Race — to stop producing so much food — is not generally a common-sense or intuitive response; instead, it derives from seemingly counter-intuitive or "outside-the-box" thinking.
