Charity says era of permanent food crisis will hit poorest people hardest and spark social unrest.
There are so many issues to consider in this area, and without having all the facts and figures available it’s always going to be difficult to discuss viable solutions.
I have to say, though, that I totally agree with Oxfam’s view that the whole bio-fuel movement needs to be seriously looked into. In my opinion, the whole idea should be scrapped because it’s madness to turn food into fuel while people are starving.
Yes, there’ll be people moaning about global warming, but wouldn’t you rather have food on the table before you fill up your car?
All the contradictory science around global warming should be revisited anyway, so everyone should just stop refining grains for non-food use until the facts are clear. Global warming: a topic for another day.
