		<description><![CDATA[While many debates continue in the political and “parapolitical” world about many aspects of food production systems and the impact of human activity on the environment, retailers lead a quiet revolution. Without making the headlines, they gradually change the way their suppliers will do business in the years to come. Such an evolution is certainly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1460&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The very success that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1293&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
