Future Price of Food

As more and more food is required by an ever increasing population, its cost will go up. As the price of oil does increase so does the cost of producing and transporting food. However, something even more sinister is increasing the future price of food.

We are converting food into fuel. Corn is used to create ethanol. Soybeans areusedto createsoy biodiesil. We are burning the food for fuel. The biomass used to feed us now is also our source of fuel so there is even less food to eat.
