Thoughts on Menu
Vivek Sahay
yes I am
Root Cause ?
Sky soaring prices of food, crude oil and fertilizers
Fueling alternate agendas such as bio fuel
Population explosion
Post harvest losses
Steep increase in meat consumption
Commoditization of food courtesy Goldman Sachs
& Uncle Sam.
Who is suffering anyway ?
Indian Subcontinent
Indonesia
China
Russia and its neighbors
African subcontinent
Far west Mexico, Peru,
Argentina, Haiti, Honduras

SOS Statistics of the staples
The Wall Street Greed
Value = Money Most valuable : The Daily Bread


Crude Oil
Food for Fuel
Due to US ethanol subsidies,
almost a third of all corn grown
in the United States is used for
producing the bio fuel.
Production of Ethanol uses 4.9
billion bushels of corns
ALONE in US thats enough
grain to feed 350 million
people.

Population Explosion
Increased Meat Consumption
The Indian Apathy
Annual food inflation as high as
20%
While people are starving on
one side as much as 23% of food
either rots or stays piled up in
some warehouse introspecting
to gain from commoditization
benefits, aka black marketing
On an average 15000 farmers
commit suicide every year
because of financial issues



Food for Thought
Government to have better control over food
commodity market
Stricter regulations to deal with black marketing
Channelized irrigation
Better supply chain management
Preventing fragmentation of land
Precision farming
