Asad Naqvi, a program manager for the economics and trade branch of UNEP recently spoke to a conference on agricultural development and had these comments to say.  "It's time to reverse the trend [of environmental degradation] caused by earlier misallocation of funds," he told the conference. As a result, some people in the developed world "may have to sacrifice their quality of life and their economic growth to live inside the limits of the earth."

This may be signaling that the cheap food policy is finally coming to an end ... and that is encouraging news for Canadian agricultural producers!!
