		<description><![CDATA[This might sound contradictory, but one of the effects of globalization could very well be a new impulse for the development of a local economy, with energy as the main driver. Let’s review a few things! One driver of globalization has been the search for low wages, therefore making corporations relocating their manufacturing units to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&blog=7821215&post=138&subd=futurefood&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The emphasis has been on consuming always more, by having an apparently unlimited quantity of increasingly cheaper consumption goods available. This trend happened in the agriculture and food sectors just as well, and followed a rather simple [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&blog=7821215&post=110&subd=futurefood&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Biofuels is a topic that divides many people. To some, it is a solution to reduce dependence on oil, and to others it is an insane idea. I do not think that biofuels will be a discussion topics for very long, and here is why. Very likely, the future of cars will be electricity.

Mars&#8230; well that&#8217;s another story&#8230; OK, so, let&#8217;s start daydreaming! First, a look at the scenery. Close to 70% of the Earth is covered by water.
