Food Crisis

Just a word to say that its not as if I am unaware of what going on worldwide with respect to the sharply rising prices of food staples. I already blogged about this and what effect it would have back in early January as I was setting up my new blogs and sites.

The causes seem to be well accepted ie weather, demographics, oil price and biofuels but there is no doubt that many people are using it to promote their own agendas:

  • the GMers say GM crops can increase food availability and reduce prices
  • the NGOs say the cause is the push towards high efficiency farming and globilisation
  • the Developmentalists say its the inefficiency of subsistence farming
  • the AntiBiofuelers say fuel from food should be banned
  • the ProBiofuelers say the pros outwigh the cons and the biofuel contribution is anyway small
  • the Vegetarians say we should eat the feed not the meat
  • the Climatologists say we must stop carbon emmissions
  • the Organics say we must use local food
