Answer 3

The country needs to begin having an "honest" conversation about the "costs and consequences" of ethanol regulations.

    While most people are focusing on rising gas prices, world food prices are also soaring -- and those soaring prices are having a "devastating" effect on people.

    Many people are now going hungry; and while there are a lot of reasons for the rising cost of food, ethanol mandates are a part of that and it is something that the Greenies need to think seriously about changing.

    Reports suggests that bio-fuel production contributes to about one-third of the rising cost of food. As farmers switch crops in order to grow more corn for bio-fuel, that has a negative impact on the price of wheat and other grains. And the excess corn production does not enter the food market.

Answer 4

Heh. Is this for a class assignment?

Well, one positive is that organic farming doesn't use harmful pesticides and chemicals that will find their way into the earth and contiminate water

A negative is that farming has become a huge business and it takes a lot of money usually to change things around, growing plants is a process and once the plants are used to one method its hard to try something new with them.
