  • Prices are gowing up. but the farmer will still farm at a loss for the fact that inputs are going up ie fuel fertilizer seed labour

  • oil seem the big problem. fuel from oil powers fram machines and fezier are made oil. also fuel from oil powers ships and trucks that gets food to market. one solluation is to take agurature waste form growing corps and power the farm machines.

  • great for now

    but what happens when population doubles

    at our present 1.7% growth rate that will happen in 41 years

    what then?

    starvation
