		<description><![CDATA[One of the key issues at the recent G8 summit was the global increase in the cost of food. As discussed previously, the rising price of staple foods has been linked to the increased cost of oil, which has caused land previously used for food crops to be turned over to crops for bio-fuels.

With all the media hype, the threat of peak oil and messages of impending catastrophe for the planet, I don&#8217;t blame you for feeling over faced. Ultimately global change will happen quickest if instigated [...]]]></description>
