		<description><![CDATA[From all economic activities, agriculture seems to have a different status. While most of the polluting industries with unsustainable processes or products seem to look to a cleaner future through new technology, it sounds as if agriculture can have a future only by downsizing. Everyone seems to support and praise the move to green new [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=641&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Not only is the population growing, but also the demographics vary greatly between regions and this will change deeply where from and where to the trade is going.
