First the "tech bubble" then the "housing bubble" - now new food market derivatives are creating a "food bubble". Is there a way "to stop investors from turning the global food system into a casino that brings huge winnings to a few and hunger to millions?"
This is a complex issue. A recent article by Tom Philpott explains the situation in detail and offers a possible step toward counteracting it. If you care about global food security, this is a must read.
About Me
- Getting Informed and Involved
- I created my first blog Involved Voters in July 2008 while living in SE Michigan to inform local voters and support Democratic candidates. I currently live in New Jersey, having recently moved from 5 years in California. A couple of years ago I shifted the emphasis of the blog to focus on educating Involved Voters about reforming the US financial system and getting big money out of politics. With the election of Donald Trump as POTUS, I decided to create a second blog for the purpose of holding his administration accountable.
