GOD, MAN AND THE FOOD CRISIS

Tuesday, April 29. 2008


Psalm 65 God and Agriculture: He provides

You are to be praised, O God, in Zion, O God of our salvation, O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far away. You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very plenteous; You prepare the grain, for so you provide for the earth.

You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase. You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths overflow with plenty.

May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing, and the hills be clothed with joy. May the meadows cover themselves with flocks and the valleys cloak themselves with grain; let them shout for joy and sing.



On the Human side- Factors in the world food crisis

“The surge [in market prices] is due to several factors, including increased demand in developing countries, higher fuel costs, … the use of crops for biofuels, and speculation on global commodity markets.”

In addition to the above factors, there are others here in USA: Profits and subsidies for farmers, profits for seed and fertilizer developers and suppliers as well as Federal Government policies and regulations.
