In the midst of a commodity prices boom, high volatility in the oil marker, and record high food prices, the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) sets a new agenda for global food production. Al Jazeera's Tanya Page says a new report will suggest that modern agriculture will have to change radically if the world is to avoid social breakdown and environmental collapse.

  • I is intresting, yet not suprising, that people are better able to feed themselves when the brute force of production through high energy inputs is removed. It is both beautiful and sad that we now get a clear lesson in the importance of protecting finite recources...

  • Business as usual means we will defy mother nature by keeping the poorest of our people barely alive in inhospitable places. Jesus let's put guys on the moon and call it a global oxygen crisis. Let's put guys in the desert and call it a global water crisis. Animals migrate to find food or they die. In a continually changing planet, humans simply refuse to do it. Relying on nutrient rich nations to assist nutrient starved nations as some god given right, that's lunacy to me.
