| | News: Food crisis: Who will win the battle for fertile land? | | 2008-06-05 09:08:59 | | In The Global Food Crisis - A Perfect Storm, I outlined some causes of the global food crisis. One of them was the struggle for arable land, either through the increase 'need for food' to feed the increasing world population, and the decrease of available land through climate change and desertification.Already several years ago, the "food crisis" alarm bells started ringing fearing the world is running out of fertile land.Back in 2005, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison combined satellite images with agricultural data from every country in the world to create detailed maps of global land use. The maps showed roughly 40% of our planet was used for either growing crops or grazing cattle. By comparison, only 7% of the world's land was being used for agriculture in 1700. The research indicates that there is now little room for further agricultural expansion.

Nearly every weekend, Central Florida gardeners can attend plant, flower or garden shows brimming with experts in growing almost every type of plant. But many fail to reap the bounty offered at events. Kathy Hopper, foliage chairman of the Apopka Art and Foliage Festival, says folks who come prepared benefit the most.
Be able to answer a grower's questions about your garden, advises Liz O'Brien, owner of Liz and Richard's Birds and Blooms in Anthony. For example, O'Brien, who specializes in gingers, says that without knowing how much sun or shade a plant might receive -- or whether it gets the cooler morning sun or the afternoon's blistering heat -- she can't answer questions about whether a plant is suitable... | | By: The Flower Expert - Flowers Encyclopedia | | |
