Just as importantly, leadership is badly needed to transform the talking into effective action.

Agricultural commodities have become quite hot and are expected [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=169&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
