ABANDONMENT OF COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE FOOD CRISIS

.

.

I can not deny that when I read this news doubly flattered sientí me because it confirms what I think and it also says a researcher at the UNAM.

However, I think common sense is given that in Mexico we can be self-sufficient and that the spurious nagging of "global food crisis" to justify absurd imports and the development of biofuels, as all they use for their evil purposes, it is false.

• Mexico has the potential to land, resources and workforce to bring down the unit in that area, said Emilio Romero Polanco, Institute of Economic Research of the UNAM

• For every 100 kilograms of corn we need, the need to import 33

The Food crisis in Mexico is the result of the abandonment of the field, said Emilio Romero Polanco, Institute of Economic Research (IIIEc) of the UNAM, and proposed revising agricultural policies, boost production, lending, strengthening grants, provide technical assistance and rescue marketing mechanisms, to have an agricultural sector to meet demand in the country.

"Mexico has the potential territorial, resources and labor to abate 100 percent of food dependency, for example, in corn," he said.

From the 80's, he said, was spent on livestock exports, growing vegetables, fruits, and organic tropical products at the expense of grain crops basic recommendations of the Bank for World and International Monetary Fund.

growth rates of agricultural export sector, he said, not enough to offset the massive purchases of food "to the destruction of the peasant economy, which rested on self-sufficiency the matter. "

We

dependence on corn by 33 percent "of 100 kilograms we require, 33 the need to buy." In wheat, imports amount to 55 percent, soybeans 95 percent, and rice, 32 percent.

Until 1980, he noted, Mexico did not acquire more than five percent of its food needs, "was a country that ensured self-sufficiency." Today, the figure rises, on average, 50 percent. In 2009, total imports of agricultural products, agro-food, drink and snuff, reached 18 million 943 thousand dollars.

global food crisis

Between 2007 and 2008, he said, were recorded globally significant increases in the prices of basic grains and food, causing a food crisis in the poorest regions of the world, followed by political instability and social unrest in several nations. World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned in 2008 that about 100 million people "could be seriously jeopardized by the crisis."


"In that period, the average international price increase was 45 percent, noted for cereals, 62 percent, vegetable oils, 85 percent, and dairy products, 69 percent," referred university.


Polanco Romero noted that the trigger of this crisis was the 2007 decision by the administration of George W. Bush to boost production of ethanol from corn.


"America is the largest producer and exporter of grain, and instead of selling it as food in the international market, it becomes fuel for domestic consumption and thus reduce dependence on oil" . At present, he said, the production of biofuels accounts for almost 40 percent of the corn originated in that nation.


The current and future price of agricultural products, he said, has increased in recent weeks, given the increasing frequency of natural disasters related to climate change, "while not controlling global warming, there will be very uncertain conditions, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts and pests, "he said.


Another key factor to consider, he said, are financial maneuvers of investors in the crisis of 2007, retired real estate resources and placed them in the Chicago futures market, with all kinds of grains. "They speculate hunger of peoples. "


Regarding the introduction of GM seeds in crops, admitted that there is great debate, but it is shown that the increase in productivity, use, "is not so significant." In Mexico, he said, concerned about the possibility of breaching the biodiversity of local corn, to the detriment of the country's food security.


in 2011, said the researcher, this item has now overtaken the biggest increase in prices, "all international organizations and major food companies and analysts indicate that, at least in the next 10 years, the world will continue with this problem. "
