When food prices are increasing and millions of people are facing hunger, the International Agriculture Science and Technology Evaluation for Development (IAASTD) conference will meet in South Africa, Johannesburg for this week for more than 60 countries representative will try to determine a new approach on food safety.

[[T]Night year corn price 31, percent soybean beans 87 percent and wheat price increased by 130 percent. Low-level and only 40-day stock up to no stock on the global scale. On the other hand, it is necessary to double the food production in 25 to 50 years in order to feed three billion more than 2050 expected population. [

IAASTD manager Robert Watson said "A urgent problem as we never expect the world." "A matter of treatment is associated with all major environmental problems. Global climate change, bio variety, water quality etc..."

said that up to 400 sciences brought to the millennium have to blend local and traditional production methods with scientific approaches to double the production of food by saving them from this situation.

The studies thatIAASTD has been maintained for three years have revealed that the existing industrial production approach should change seriously to meet the needs of food without causing an environmental destruction.

A report that combines five regional assessments and all as a result of study. Representatives of representatives from 30 countries with increased and development, as well as representatives from the biotech and agricultural pharmaceutical industry and the non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace, Oxfam have joined this study. [

Fakat last year two major companies Syngenta and BASF were taken out of work by specifying that assessments contain a negative approach in relation to their genetically played foods.

Josh Brandon from Greenpeace, which criticizes the companies, attracts attention to the devastating results, such as the patent of the seeds of bio technology into the agricultural field and the contamination of the "Green Revolution", genetic contamination, water and soil with chemicals.

The term

"Green Revolution" was revealed in 1968 by the United States (USA) International Development Agency manager William Gaud. Gaud was referenced to the experience of obtaining different products using more fertilizers in Asia and Latin America.

Robert Paarlberg from Harvard University on the other hand pushes the release of bio technology completely outside. Paarlberg says that the "Green Revolution" in Africa opens millions of people because of its release outside.

This week will appear at the end of the study, will be used to determine agricultural policies for the governments. (Stephen Leahy’s article published in IPS was shortened by Turkish.
