"World Bank president Robert Zoellick warned leaders of the top global economies Saturday that the world is reaching a danger point where soaring food prices threaten further political instability." Unquote
A rather alarming statement coming from the World Bank president on such an occasion. It reminds of global rice shortage in Mar to May of 2008, prompting some rice producing countries to restrict exports.
It gives a sense I am in the right direction with organic rice planting. Took a bit of convincing myself into this. After all, how much rice do I eat? Besides I am into a calorie restriction diet.
The primarily motivation comes from an eco-lifestyle rather than fear of food security actually. Also the self sufficiency idea advocated by H.M. The King of Thailand is appealing.
