Yet as problematic as that is, it’s nothing compared to UN predictions that our food supply will have to double over the next 20 years to support our growing population. It’s essential that we focus on where and how we get our food.
In this issue we’ll be looking at the impact the eruption of the Icelandic volcano has had on the food supply chain. We also have J. Patrick Boyle, President and CEO of the American Meat Institute, discussing how subsidizing corn-based ethanol has impacted on feed costs, driving up meat prices. We need to pay attention to these interactions if we’re going to keep our future food supply secure.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ve also been taking a look at the international wine industry, discovering some quality wineries in places you may not be expecting. It’s worth taking a look.
