As you know, we are in the midst of the worst drought on record and for
many food producers, the outlook is grim. Would importing more food
help solve the problem? Perhaps we should be paying more for food.
Should we by trying different methods of farming? What sort of impact
would genetically modified crops make?
Lets look at this. As you know? no I do not know but what I could do is understand the problem and see what the solution is [that is observe do the research sit in silence - go for a walk in the park along the beach sit in the bath Eureka! - and see what the mind resolves] so i will look at this negatively, what we are doing is unethical immoral and unsustainable, that means we have to change, we can not produce bio-diesel - there is not enough land, we need twice as much arable land than what is available on the Earth also we need this land to produce food for the population explosion including living in disused mines ocean city's and outer space habitats.
Import food? impossible there is no more oil and no alternative at the present moment, besides we can not use oil it pollutes the atmosphere and kills humans both in the food we eat and the clothes and society it creates.
Different farming methods? there is only one farming method ie Permaculture as as been proved throughout the history of culture
Genetically modified food or cellular research can only be improved by copying nature ie Biomimicry - to alter 14.25 billion years of evolution without understanding the symbiotic relationships of atomic configurations is a Giant presumption
