Foodcrisis?
As we all know, the demonstrations begin when the food prices in that region went up. Well not only in that region, in fact in the whole world the prices went up. The rises do not only have to do with bad crop or bad monetary policy. But also with us living greener and using food to drive "green", of course this will pressure the food prices, as the demand gows with our needs.
I found a useful website, where they state whit the top 25 countries who are in danger.
The question now is, will this lead to regime overthrows in other countries?

Well, atleast my country isn't in the first 25.
ReplyDeleteInteresting information and certainly an important topic - we all need food brother!
ReplyDeleteIts a sad fact of the world where in the Americas we are so wasteful, but other countries would KILL for a meal like we eat on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad there is no real good solution for this problem either.
Check out Rolling Stone's article on Ethanol being (quote) "Dangerous, delusional bullshit." Very related to this and this blog.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, even though a "renewable" fuel is considered good, it has major ramifications in other areas.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
I'm glad I'm not in the top 25 but I'm certain its a global problem regardless.
ReplyDeleteInformative post.
cool post - follwoing
ReplyDeleteI'll worry about later. Until then.....NO FOOD FOR YOU.
ReplyDeletequite a global issue that needs addressing and sooner rather than later
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that I'm not in any of the 25 first countries...
ReplyDeleteSo relieved England isnt on there. I hope something is done about the other countries, everyone needs to be able to buy food.
ReplyDeleteinteresting read, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteusing food to "drive green" is just fooling yourselves, moving the Co2 emissions elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteCheck the doc movie called King Corn. It shows how we are being screwed by the big corps.

More Genetic Modification is necessary!
ReplyDeleteYES, my country isn't on that list
ReplyDeleteThis has been coming for a long time, we have a lot of people on our planet and we are not working hard enough to feed everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt's a global problem, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteFull HD you are so right, it really is.
ReplyDeleteIt was bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteSpikes often stabilize. Food prices will be higher in the future, yes, but not as bad as people will think.

ReplyDeleteThis is completely ture .
I have a better solution for this . At least make biodiesel out of your excessive food .
There should defintely be a bigger emphasis on vegetable plots.
ReplyDeletenice info
ReplyDeleteI hope there are no more repressions and terror because of indifference of the western governments.
ReplyDeleteI'm safe in the U.S.! Well I figured i would be, too much food to eat here honestly.
ReplyDeleteEthanol fuel is another problem, and Brazil will be selling them by the gallons.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Top 25 countries in danger are not those I expected.
ReplyDeleteye, me nether BrainM
ReplyDeleteYesch didn't make the top 25
ReplyDeleteI couldn't handle higher food prices.
ReplyDeleteYeh biofuel has a lot of issues
ReplyDeleteGood tip, but the way I win employers over is with my cover letter. My resume pretty much speaks for itself, since I was managing a cell phone store at the age of 18... they don't need to know i just sat around drinking though.
