and Mahalla El-Kobra, Egypt this week.

Globalism-the rise of China-ethanol-control of government by business
lobbyists-elimination of "unnecessary regulations"-cart before the horse
economics-banking.
The whole situation is rooted in the greed of the Global Economice
Aristocracy and their globalism mandate. |

My dad was a farm boy during the Great Depression, he said there were plenty
of food to eat while people in the cities were not as fortunate. |

Linked directly to run away inflation and people on the edge of poverty
where they no longer afford it. Changing climate conditions, sky high fuel
prices, agriculture production from food to boifuel, devaluation of
financial institutions, government policies and inept politicians all played
a part. So far riots have spread to more than 31 countries, including parts
or Africa and Asia, according to CNBC. |

My grandfather was a young man at that time. He said they never went
hungry. The only things they didn't have many of were the things they
had to buy. |

That may be the case in Egypt. Haiti is very dependent on trade,
because they don't produce anywhere near enough food to feed their
population.

There were a lot fewer people to feed back then. The US population was
only about 175 million, as opposed to over 300 million today. There
were also farms where nothing could be grown. If there is another
prolonged drought in the midwest as severe as the 1930s, much of the
world will go hungry.
There is no grain surplus left. We can hope for the rains to return to
Australia, which will ease the supply situation a bit. The Brazilians
are rapidly clearing new land for food production. High prices are
rejuvenating European agricultural production. However, we have reached
the point where only high input, industrial agriculture will feed the
world's population, and the price of inputs (fuel and fertilizer) have
risen to the point that a drop in prices will mean production will shut
down.
The way the population curve is going, we need to find food for between
3 and 6 billion more people in the next few decades. This with the
ocean fisheries collapsing, and the climate of the earth possibly
shifting. It looks like a tricky time ahead.

The main reason is a decade of very low farmgate prices leading to
reduction in production together with the removal of farm subsidy
directly on production. This has lead to higher world prices, which is
EXACTLY what most NGOs were asking for last year.

and it's all unproven GM modified rice contaminated, because
the experimental rice "got away" & crosspollanated
promiscuously. there is no non-contaminated rice grown in the
US available. the USDA did a fast push-through of permission
to sell the rice (without testing) because there was no time
to test with the entire production contaminated.
