DuPont Leader Says Increasing Food Production a Moral Imperative

DuPont Leader Says Increasing Food Production a Moral Imperative

- Ensuring food security for a growing world population is a moral imperative and plant breeders are being challenged to develop sustainable solutions using innovation that involves novel approaches and techniques to meet future demands, William S. Niebur, vice president - DuPont Crop Genetics Research & Development, told the second annual World Seed Conference here. Niebur's remarks reflect DuPont's recently announced commitment to focus on meeting four emerging global trends, one of which is increasing food production.

'We know some will want to debate methods and processes, the science, or our motives; but at the end of the day it is up to us as plant breeders to do everything we possibly can to help ensure no individual goes hungry,' said Niebur.

Agricultural output will need to double by 2050 to feed more than 9 billion people, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This increased productivity will need to occur as available arable land and resources shift, remain unchanged, or in some areas, decrease...

==== COMMENT: ====

MORALLY IRRESPONSIBLE

Big Oil / Big Chem / Big Farm have sold us a pig in a poke. Since oil and gasoline (and other high-profit items made from fossil fuels, like fertilizer and pesticides) could be sold for a profit, these Big Business leaders have tried to tell us that "What is Good for Them is Good For America" (and, therefore, the World).

Now, the chickens have come home to roost. Food supplies are not meeting demand because oil people (people fed oil-grown foods from birth) have been bred (indirectly) and used as a growth commodity.

Let the profiteers feed the starving millions (projected billions?)- these oil people are owned by them, literally. Otherwise, the Big Business model (as described above) will bankrupt the world.

Found elsewhere on the web:

"If modern agriculture continues to follow the path it's on now, it's finished. The food-growing situation may seem to be in good shape today, but that's just an illusion based on the current availability of petroleum fuels. All the wheat, corn, and other crops that are produced on big American farms may be alive and growing, but they're not products of real nature or real agriculture. They're manufactured rather than grown. The earth isn't producing those things... petroleum is!" - Masanobu Fukuoka

THE AGE OF STUPID - a movie - PLAYING "soon" AT A THEATER "near" YOU!

Sometimes it takes the emotional punch that only a big screen feature film can pack to move people to take action on a long term crisis like climate change.

That's the kind of emotional punch that 'The Age of Stupid' will deliver when it comes to a theater near you. We're proud to partner with the producers of this dynamic new film that will premiere in the U.S. on September 21st.

Find a screening near you and buy your tickets for the September 21st screening today:

http://www.ageofstupid.net/usa

The film will show at 6:30 pm on Monday, September 21, 2009. In the KC area, it will be at AMC Studio 30 in Olathe, AMC Town Center in Leawood, and Cinemark in Merriam. The Olathe location will be on an IMAX screen. Tickets are $12.50 in advance, plus a one dollar service charge, and are available by following the links

'The Age Of Stupid' is an enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid from the director of 'McLibel' and the producer of the Oscar-winning 'One Day In September'.

The film stars Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite ('The Usual Suspects', 'In the Name of the Father') as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching "archive" footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance? It takes viewers through a world-wide journey that explores the roots of the crisis and our failure to confront it in this fictionalized (but all-too-possible) future. Watch a trailer of the movie at AgeOfStupid.net.

U.K. newspaper The Guardian has called it "the first successful dramatization of climate change to hit the big screen." Find a screening near you and buy your tickets today:
