www.clitherooadvertiser.co.uk Thursday, January I5.Z015 I CUTHEROEADVERnSERSUMES VALLEYVILLAGES; ■ Due to the limited avail-
ability of farm land, the only exception being aquaculture, society had to decide if it wanted food, a beautiful coun tryside or both. Food short ages lead to civil unrest and revolutions and, therefore,
-with a growing world popula tion estimated to reach almost
-10 billion by 2050, food waste is a problem which urgently needs tackling. Howard also questioned the use of so much land for biomass. Dairy farmers are declin
ing at a rapid rate, and farmers are no longer paid subsidies, . and contrary to opinion, there
are no longer food mountains. In fact, world stocks of food are at a record low. So how will the world
cope? Much of the world has already embraced some or all of GM advances. Improved plant breeding and develop ment, better weed control, the use of technology and GM for bigger yields, weather resistance, improved flavour and nutrients. After a very • lively discussion and many pertinent questions Howard ended by emphasising “the fact must be addressed”. Food forthoughtindeed! The competition for an
item offood containingthe letters F, F, and T was won by Mandy Brennan. Alison Tapley was second and Grace Dobson third.
