Global Food shortage iminent (Really?)

[Guest guest]

The TV and Radio has been full of this recent worldwide (GLOBAL)

scare that there is going to be worldwide food shortage (famine?) in

the next decade or two.

 

With mounting energy costs, the concern has been primarily arising

due to what reporters insist is due to the changing of food habits

worldwide. Heavily populated nations such as India and China are

beginning to embrace meat and meat products in larger numbers and

this has increased the worldwide demand on cattle farming (most of

which would be of little use in India because it shuns beef -- I

hope?) and the cattle need certain grains which will go to them

rather than humans and so the plot thickens!

 

What is the take of this august group on this new wrinkle? Should we

be worried about this and begin to stock up on grains and other food

staples as seems to have been occurring in North America (I wonder

who is doing the stocking up?) or should we be focusing more on

global warming or should we be just going around -- business as

usual? Whatever that means to the forum memebers individually!

dear RR ji

 

Thanxs for coming up with a diffrnt subjuct .

 

Now a days all astrologers lost their interest in Mundane astrology or

political astrology .U know the reason s .Also most of the ppl become

too much self centred ,so dont care what is happening to other person

and they r least bothered abt it too unless he personaly feels the loss

or diffrnce .till he dont bother andby the time its too late .This has

given care free attitude to policy makers and multi nationals and power

brokers

 

,Many times in prvt interaction i try to discuss potential denagers but

many thinks if i discuss abt food i am a farmer and that is y i am

concenred abt it.

 

since 1990s the world has changed its directions to a new order and

india ,china many 3rd word nations strted taking care more industrial

devlment than agricultural devlpment and ppls welfare .

 

 

 

so this sector was discarded for industrial growth and in india u can

see undue importance they giv to IT and related services and all

excemptions are going for those sectors ,and asked farmers to take care

of them selvs,where as all policies of govtment were against them ,they

never gets right price .Always has to compete with world prices which is

controlld by MNC and they can manipulate everything .

 

 

 

Also MNC and local leading business houses also strted concentrating in

retail sector and they r also hoarding and pushing the prices further up

with more facilities and liquid cash in hand .

 

 

 

Also now new cash cropes r evolving ( like growing of spl pototoes for

chips industry and finger chips ) also some bio energy farming replaced

normal agriculture

 

and world energy prises growing up and US was pressuring 3r world

countries to shelve any subsidise on agricultural sector and were as

they r continuing it and in west agriculture means also a business of

some big companies were as in asian and afrikan countries its a part of

their way of life .

 

 

 

and neo intellectuals are worried abt only share market index and

political clowns are showing un usual growth in this gambling sector as

indicater of growth and the funny thing is many harward educated with

gilt edged certificates .The interest rates has reduced and many small

scale business has closed and no way u can invest and win in new

atmosphere so all money is going to share market which systematicaly

looted by big sharks .

 

 

 

Also this boom in IT sector ( if u compare its pea nuts in frnd of

agriculture sector which u r discarding ) conributed to property boom (

again its instigated and artificial ) and land also becoming a business

commodity than a its natural use .

 

other trsnits and dasa influences of various countries may be surely

contributin it

 

almost 20 yrs neglect i dont know how any govtment can rectify it and

most of the agricultural families r in deep debts too .

 

so the future i dont think its good .

 

 

 

also This yr summer rains in india already destroyed 40% of the crops

tho the crops are showing bumber harvest .And food prices has gone up

many fold and still if u no farmer is benefiting .

 

 

 

simhasta sani+ketu and aspect of jup was only adding fire than pacifying

it as he was also bombarded by mars and ketu

 

Moreover since its natural 9th house --he can only be dharmik and sani

+ketu in natural 5th house ( merits of past ) ,so merits or demerits of

past need to rectified and changed to merits of present life ( 9th house

) again its wat is bhagya stana ,its wat may be jupiter wants
