[QUOTE="Robigus, post: 196591, member: 206"] The flaw to this argument is that in reality we do not need to be any more efficient in our food production (as opposed to crop production.) We do not produce food for the starving of the world but for those that can afford it, and they choose to eat meat for a variety of reasons. Tesco announced today the alarming percentage of processed food that they throw away. The consumer that we produce for is the Tesco customer. The buyer for the starving is the government aid program or the NGO, not the poor person who is starving. And they are probably starving because of political strife not because of farm gate prices. As to the misuse of glyphosate, I think it is a major problem. We know exactly how to select plants that are not susceptible to an active ingredient and this is precisely what we are doing. Repeated low rate doses throughout the rotation can only lead to resistance, there is no other outcome. [/QUOTE]
