You have seen food prices going up at the local grocery store. That could be just the beginning. According to Lester Brown, a leading expert in both the environment and world agriculture, those bulging supermarket shelves are part of a “food bubble”, which could crash.
Lester Brown founded the World Watch Institute, with it’s annual “State of the World” reports. He’s written 50 books, won many honors, is recognized as a thought-leader for our era. Now in his own Earth Policy Institute, Brown’s new book is “World on Edge, How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse.”
Brown compares our world food situation to the real estate bubble in the United States. We are in a “food bubble” he says.
