Global food crisis : political factors

control the money suppl, you control the government. control the food supply, you control the people.

check documentary "life and debt".. great ilustration of the same issue.. in Jamaica's economy..

great video.. bioethanol fuel is nonsense.. there is not enough water in the world to irrigate all the corn we would need to produce enough of the stuff to replace petrol.. it's a dead end with unbearable consequences.. I feel the whole "organic food"movement is contributing to the food crisis too.. you need much more land and time to produce the same amount of food if you avoid pesticides and fertilizers.. less food production = more famine..+ deforestation..

This video's argument is flawed. Farming subsidies by the developed nations such as US actually INCREASED supplies of foods and decreased food prices. Why? Becasue it forced American taxpayers to subsidize the foods consumed by other countries, and therefore make food prices artificially cheaper around the world.

I am also against food subsidies and I think it's stupid. But to blame US agricultural subsidies as the cause of food crisis it's just ridicules.
