Hello.

"Will Investments in Agricultural Technology be enough?" Here is my opinion. I don't really know enough or not for helping global food crisis situation, but let see what we have. The FAO estimates that global food consumption will double over the next 30 years as the global population increases by 42 percent to over 9 billion. US Secretary of Agriculture promotes the use of biofuel and genetically modified crops and some countries are at the same position as US, but i think that good agricultural policy and investments can improve situation much better than genetic modification.
