		<description><![CDATA[A couple of recent articles (Foreign cropland deals and Professional investors look toward overseas farmland) show clearly how much action there currently is about securing food sources in the future. Many players are involved, from countries buying or leasing foreign land, to investment firms and hedge funds. Agricultural commodities have become quite hot and are expected [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&blog=7821215&post=169&subd=futurefood&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We are going to have to find another economic system to prosper in the future as it is part of solving the climate change and CO2 emission issue. Over the last 60 years, all our economy has been based in encouraging consumer demand for goods that have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&blog=7821215&post=135&subd=futurefood&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As such, a feed mill is a rather simple process that feed producers know and master. To put it in simple terms, the recipe is prepared in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&blog=7821215&post=81&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.
