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&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=110&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an interesting article, that shows that when you want to be market-driven, opportunities will come your way. Here is the story of Canadian beef that might be sold in the EU, if the producers are willing to change their production system (by going hormone-free). While this means higher production cost, the sales price [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=99&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="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. Inevitably, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=60&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the food production world, just like in other business sectors, there are been two major successful strategies. One is to produce a non-differentiated commodity at the lowest cost possible. The number of units compensates what is lost in margin per unit. The other is to produce a limited and controlled volume, and to market [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=44&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only yesterday, two major mergers took place in the agribusiness world. In Brazil, Sadia and Perdigao will now form the world&#8217;s largest poultry producer, as the new company is larger than Tyson Foods. That is not nothing. In Canada, Viterra, formerly Saskatchewan Wheat Pool is acquiring the Australian ABB Grain. As there is a growing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=27&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
