Whither Global Food Shortage Predictions?

by E. Calvin Beisner

Less than two years ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which wants us to trust its prognostications about conditions a century from now enough to bet trillions on them, warned that global warming threatened global food supplies. But last week The New Indian Express reported, “International food prices dipped by 19 percent in the last year, the fourth consecutive annual fall .” Stop and think about that for a moment. In 2014 the IPCC’s Working Group II warned that … [Read more...]

Think Carefully Before Welcoming Humane Society Policies

by Stephen Vantassel

Humans should only be eating animals raised under humane conditions. Sounds perfectly innocent doesn’t it? After all who wants to think of animals suffering just so that he/she can have a cheap burger or chicken patty? This is essentially the argument cleverly proffered by Pete Letheby in the article “Farmers team up with the Humane Society on behalf of animals” published in the Fall 2015 edition (p. 24) of Ag in Action by the Lewistown News-Argus (Lewistown, MT). The problem with this article … [Read more...]

We Pray for “Daily Bread”

by Kim & Bruce Backensto

Father, we come to You requesting "daily bread" for our brothers and sisters the world over because we know when the Bride of Jesus has food, the hungry in their neighborhood will have food. Wait, forgive us, your children for the many times we have enjoyed plenty to eat and not even considered the hungry in the world nor how their hunger may be addressed. May those You raised up with the means to feed the poor prosper and increase, but teach us that physical food ought never to take the lead … [Read more...]

End Federal Ethanol Policy’s Harm to the Poor and the Environment

by E. Calvin Beisner

To borrow a phrase from another debate (where it is misused), the science is settled. So is the economics. As Peter Suderman points out, the federal Environmental Protection Agency proposes reducing from 18.5 billion to 15.2 billion gallons the amount of renewable fuel (essentially, ethanol, almost all from corn) it requires refiners to mix into total U.S. gasoline production each year. Well, the longest journey begins with a single step. But this journey could be completed in one fell … [Read more...]

A Theological Framework for Evaluating Genetically Modified Food

by Jordan Ballor

Source: Freeimages.com

The public debate regarding genetically modified (GM) food has for the most part been driven by practical considerations. For those on the side of GM food, the economic and social benefits far outweigh any possible negative consequences (if there even are any). In this vein, Reason magazine science correspondent Ronald Bailey points out, “With biotech corn, U.S. farmers have saved an estimated $200 million by avoiding extra cultivation and reducing insecticide spraying. U.S. cotton farmers have … [Read more...]

How Will We Feed Africa?

by Rev. Michael Oluwatuyi

Environmental activists are spending millions of dollars in their campaign to ban genetically modified foods, as millions of Africans starve. These activists, who must believe that ideology is a good substitute for bread on the table, need to understand some simple truths. Human activity is based on living a healthy life. Sufficient food is the first requirement for health, which gives people the strength to flourish and live productive lives. Hunger and undernourishment undermine human society, … [Read more...]
