FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE WELL-OFF, WELL-FED NORTH AMERICAN WHO DOES NOT HAVE TO TOIL MUCH OF THE DAY FOR HIS SUBSTANCE, WHAT'S NOT TO PRAISE IN THE WEST'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE WORLD WITH CHEAP, FAST, UNIFORM, RELIABLE, BUG-RESISTANT, VITAMIN-ENHANCED FOOD? THE LONGTERM ADVANTAGES OF HIGH-YIELD FARMING & MODERN TRANSPORTATION -- THE NEED TO DOUBLE GLOBAL FOOD PRODUCTION DURING THE NEXT HALF CENTURY -- CAN ORGANIC FARMING DO IT?

HIGH-YIELD AGRICULTURE:  THE PATH TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR BOTH PEOPLE & WILDLIFE, DESPITE, & EVEN BECAUSE OF, ITS PESTICIDES, CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS, IRRIGATION DAMS, & BLAST-FREEZERS -- THE HIGH-YIELD CONSERVATION ARGUMENT

ENVIRONMENTALISTS & THEIR "PITCHFORK REBELLION" AGAINST THE USE OF PESTICIDES:  GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AS HAVENS FOR ACTIVISTS NOT INTERESTED IN THE BASIC GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC SAFETY & REGULATION OF COMMERCE, BUT IN "RESHAPING" AMERICAN SOCIETY -- THE THREAT THAT THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT & THE PITCHFORK REBELLION POSE TO AGRICULTURE, FOOD PRODUCTION, & PUBLIC HEALTH -- THE DANGER OF FARMERS LOSING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL OR PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE, NOXIOUS WEEDS THAT POISON FOOD CROPS & OTHER USEFUL VEGETATION -- BANNING HERBICIDES THAT KILL TOXIC WEEDS -- WHAT THIS WILL COST THE U.S. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT & THEREBY AMERICAN TAXPAYERS

ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE & THE EARTH'S BIODIVERSITY:  CO2 IS ACCUMULATING AT HIGHER & HIGHER LEVELS IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE, &, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. WILL THE EXTRA CO2 AFFECT THE BIODIVERSITY OF THE EARTH?

THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE:  CAN WE SUCCESSFULLY GROW MORE PLANTS PER ACRE AS A FUTURE STRATEGY FOR INCREASING OUR CROP YIELDS? THE WORLD WILL NEED TWICE AS MUCH FOOD IN 2050, & WE WILL NEED TO TRIPLE THE CROP YIELDS ON THE BEST LAND. FOR THIS STRATEGY TO BE A SUCCESS, THE FIELDS WILL NEED CONSISTENT RAINS, IRRIGATION, OR SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION IN WELL-WATERED REGIONS. OTHER NEEDS:  PROBABLY, DROUGHT-TOLERANT SEEDS & SOME ACTUAL RE-DESIGN OF PLANT LEAVES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THE PLANTS INTERCEPT FROM THE SUN, LOTS OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER, CAREFUL MANAGEMENT TO PREVENT THE EXTRA NITROGEN FROM LEACHING INTO STREAMS, & GOOD EROSION CONTROL TO PREVENT THE SOIL FROM SLIPPING AWAY DURING STORMS. THE FARMERS ARE FACING THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN HISTORY.

THE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES ON A NATION'S FOOD PRODUCTION:  THE GREEN REVOLUTION VERSUS ENVIRONMENTALISM -- BIOTECHNOLOGY & HIGH-YIELD AGRICULTURE VERSUS LOW-YIELD ORGANIC FARMING -- THE EUROPEAN UNION'S BLOCKADE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY -- THE VERY POOR JUDGEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, AS REGARDS ITS AGRICULTURAL & TRADE POLICIES

AFRICAN AGRICULTURE & FOOD PRODUCTION IN THE CONTEXT OF AN EXPANDING AFRICAN POPULATION:  WHAT SHOULD AFRICA DO ABOUT ITS DECLINING FOOD PRODUCTION PER CAPITA?  THE SAME THING FIRST-WORLD FARMERS DO IN THIS AGE OF TECHNOLOGY:  USE HERBICIDES, AS WELL AS BETTER SEEDS & FERTILIZERS. ALSO, BUILD & MAINTAIN BETTER FARM-TO-MARKET ROADS.

FORTY YEARS OF ENVIRONMENTALIST PROPAGANDA DISSEMINATED BY THE EPA:  THE UTTERLY DECEITFUL MANNER IN WHICH THE EPA ARRIVES AT ITS JUSTIFICATION FOR A VAST MATRIX OF REGULATIONS THAT HAS BEEN STIFLING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY FOR YEARS -- EPA'S FAILURE TO MEET ITS OWN GUIDELINES FOR PEER REVIEW TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF THE "SCIENCE" STATED -- THE NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE EPA & REPLACE IT WITH A TRULY SCIENCE-BASED AGENCY, AN AGENCY SUBJECT TO STRICT CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT & LIMITATIONS

NATURALLY OCCURRING RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS & THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN PHYSICIANS & LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS:  WHY DOES ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE DEVELOP SO QUICKLY TO THE VERY NEWEST ANTIBIOTICS PRESCRIBED FOR TREATMENT OF HUMAN PATIENTS? THE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE WAS THERE BEFORE WE DISCOVERED ANTIBIOTICS. HUMANS DID NOT INVENT THE ANTI-BACTERIAL WONDER DRUGS; WE HAVE SIMPLY ISOLATED ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS THAT ALREADY EXISTED IN THE INFINITE, COMPETITIVE VARIETY OF NATURE. MICROORGANISMS FIGURED OUT A WAY OF HOW TO GET AROUND ANTIBIOTICS BEFORE WE EVEN FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE ANTIBIOLICS. OUR MEDICAL MARCHING ORDERS:  KEEP RESEARCHING NEW ANTIBIOTICS TO STAY AHEAD OF THE RESISTANCE.  MESSAGE TO PUBLIC POLICYMAKERS: OUR PUBLIC POLICIES NEED A MUCH HIGHER EMPHASIS ON WELCOMING ANTIBIOTIC RESEARCH.  MEMO TO THE FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION:  SINCE THERE IS NO DRUG THAT WILL WORK PERPETUALLY, LET'S MOVE FASTER WITH GOOD NEW ANTIBIOTICS.

A COMMON TACTIC OF RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS PROMOTING GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM & ANTI-HYDROCARBON POLICIES:  AS EVIDENCE MOUNTS THAT MAN-MADE CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT IMMINENT, EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS CANNOT BE LINKED TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES & DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WILL NOT REDUCE THEIR USE OF FOSSIL FUELS, RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALIST GROUPS HAVE INCREASINGLY TARGETED COMPANIES WITH CAMPAIGNS BASED ON SUPPOSED "ETHICAL PRINCIPLES."

HIGH-TECH, HIGH-YIELD FARMING IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA:  USE OF BIOTECH COTTON SEEDS THAT CARRY THEIR OWN INTERNAL PESTICIDE, RESULTING IN A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN PESTICIDE SPRAYING, THE AVOIDANCE OF SEVERAL MILLION CASES OF PESTICIDE POISONING PER YEAR, & SLASHING THE TOLL FROM FARMER SUICIDES VIA PESTICIDE POISONING, PERHAPS BY A MILLION DEATHS A YEAR -- WILL THE BENEFITS OF FEWER CROP SPRAYINGS, LOWER COSTS, HIGHER YIELDS, MORE FINANCIAL SECURITY, & REDUCED MISERY THAT LEADS TO SUICIDE FINALLY SOFTEN THE HEARTS OF IDEOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS & ANTI-TECHNOLOGY ACTIVISTS?

THE OBSTACLES TO MODERN AGRICULTURE & FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA:  THE ROLE OF FIRST WORLD ENVIRONMENTALISTS IN CREATING ROADBLOCKS TO IMPROVED METHODS OF AGRICULTURE & FOOD PRODUCTION IN AFRICA -- THE ROADBLOCKS BEING PUT UP BY AFRICA'S POLITICALLY & ECONOMICALLY POWERFUL, EDUCATED ELITE -- THE HIGHLY PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF CREATING INSURMOUNTABLE HURDLES TO BIOTECH CROPS IN AFRICA

GLOBAL WARMING, BIG DROUGHTS, & AGRICULTURE:  HOW CLIMATE CHANGES IMPACT ON THE WORLD'S FOOD PRODUCTION -- DROUGHT AS THE REAL ENEMY OF FOOD PRODUCTION -- THE BIG DROUGHTS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN DURING THE "LITTLE ICE AGES" THAN DURING THE GOOD WEATHER OF THE GLOBAL WARMINGS -- GLOBAL WARMINGS AS THE GOOD TIMES FOR HUMANS, CROPS, & WILDLIFE -- THE REAL FOOD CHALLENGE:  THE NEED FOR THE WORLD TO NEARLY DOUBLE ITS FARM OUTPUT IN THE NEXT 40 SHORT YEARS, TO MEET A LAST, MODERATE INCREASE IN POPULATION, AS WELL AS A HUGE SURGE IN AFFLUENCE

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION & THE CURRENT STATE OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY: RAPIDLY RISING ENERGY & FOOD PRICES -- HIGH OIL & FOOD PRICES -- A DOUBLE WHAMMY AMERICAN CONSUMERS HAVE NOT SUFFERED SINCE PRESIDENT JAMES EARL CARTER'S INFAMOUS "STAGFLATION," A PAINFUL MIX OF WEAK ECONOMIC GROWTH, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, & RISING INFLATION IN THE LATE 1970S -- A DECLINE IN U.S. DOMESTIC PETROLEUM PRODUCTION ENGINEERED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA -- SYMPATHY FOR RIGGING HIGHER OIL & NATURAL GAS PRICES SO THE HUGE FEDERAL SUBSIDIES FOR WIND & SOLAR POWER PRODUCTION WILL SEEM LESS A DRAIN ON U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH -- DIVERSION OF HUGE AMOUNTS OF GRAIN FROM FOOD PRODUCTION TO MOTOR FUEL PRODUCTION, THEREBY CREATING AN ARTIFICIAL FOOD SHORTAGE

SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT BISPHENOL-A:  A MASSIVE & CONCERTED PROPAGANDA EFFORT TO DEFAME BPA & GET IT BANNED -- HOW PUBLIC OPINION IS INFLUENCED & SHAPED BY ENVIRONMENTALISTS EMPLOYING DUBIOUS "SCIENTIFIC STUDIES" -- DEBUNKING SOCALLED "SCIENCE-BASED" FEAR CAMPAIGNS CONDUCTED BY FENTON COMMUNICATIONS, THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE COUNCIL, THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP, & OTHER SEGMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT

THE NEED FOR A REALISTIC ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY:  LET'S BURN OUR NEWLY-ABUNDANT NATURAL GAS INSTEAD OF THE BIOFUELS, PUT NUCLEAR POWER HIGHER ON THE WISH LIST, & LET THE MARGINAL LANDS BE WILD.

SOLUTION TO THE EARTH'S FOOD CHAIN TIGHTENING: PERMITTING FARMERS TO USE THE MOST EFFECTIVE PEST CONTROLS, CHEMICAL OR BIOTECHNOLOGICAL -- THE ONE U.S. GOVERNMENTAL ACTION THAT COULD EASE THE CURRENT GLOBAL FOOD PRICE SPIKE: LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF U.S. CORN THAT IS TURNED INTO CORN ETHANOL -- FLAWS IN THE POLICY OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES & MANDATES FOR PRODUCTION OF CORN ALCOHOL FOR USE AS A MOTOR FUEL

GOVERNMENT REGULATION & FOOD SAFETY:  FOOD SCARE CAMPAIGNS & THE DEMAND FOR MORE EXTENSIVE & EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT WILL NOT KILL THE DEADLY BACTERIA WHICH CAUSE FOOD POISONING -- ELECTRONIC PASTEURIZATION AS THE SOLUTION TO OUTBREAKS OF FOOD POISONING

WHY THE WORLD HAS FAILED TO MEET THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS SET BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN THE YEAR 2000: WHY WE & OTHER PEOPLES OF THE WORLD SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THE FAILURE -- THE ECONOMIC DEATH-WISH INVOLVED IN REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY 50 PERCENT -- ORGANIC AGRICULTURE & THE SUSTAINABILITY OR UNSUSTAINABILITY OF FOOD PRODUCTION -- MINIMIZED USE OF AGRO-CHEMICALS, INCREASED LOW-YIELD FARMING, DECREASED WILDLAND AREAS, & BIODIVERSITY LOSSES -- REDUCED HUMAN CONSUMPTION OF ANIMAL PROTEIN & THE EPHEMERAL ECOLOGICAL GAINS RESULTING THEREFROM

BIOTECNOLOGY & AGRICULTURE:  MORE HIGH-YIELD FARMING RESEARCH REQUIRED TO MEET REDOUBLED WORLD FOOD NEEDS IN 2050 -- THE NEED FOR GENE MODIFICATION RESEARCH TO DEVELOP SALT-TOLERANT & DROUGHT-TOLERANT FOOD CROPS TO ENABLE HUMANS TO SURVIVE THE EARTH'S FUTURE MEGA-DROUGHTS -- THE IMPORTANCE OF SALT-TOLERANT & DROUGHT-TOLERANT CEREAL CROPS IN A MASSIVE REGIONAL MEGA-DROUGHT -- FOUR EPIC ANCIENT ASIAN MEGA-DROUGHTS THAT COLLAPSED CULTURES & STARVED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, JUST IN THE LAST ONE THOUSAND YEARS -- TWELFTH-CENTURY MEGA-DROUGHTS THAT WIPED OUT CULTURES & PEOPLES IN NORTH AMERICA -- THE NEED TO REJECT THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT & OVERRULE ITS ILL-FOUNDED OBJECTIONS TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH & TECNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF FOOD PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS IN OTHER AREAS OF OUR ECONOMY

HIGH-YIELD AGRICULTURE & THE ENVIRONMENT:  IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT FINALLY READY TO FACE THE GLOBAL NEED TO TRIPLE CROP YIELDS OVER THE NEXT FORTY YEARS & DROP ITS DEDICATION TO LAND-SELFISH ORGANIC FARMING?  THE EARTH'S WILD BIODIVERSITY IS AT STAKE.

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION & ITS PUBLIC POLICY COMMITMENTS IN THE AREA OF ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, & NATURAL RESOURCES:  UNWORKABLE ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES -- HIGH ENERGY TAXES & REDUCTIONS IN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS -- DEREGISTERING PESTICIDES & ITS IMPACT ON NO-TILL FARMING -- INSTALLING MANDATORY FARM MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS AROUND THE CHESAPEAKE BAY & ITS IMPACT ON THE HIGH-YIELD FARMERS IN THE REGION

AGRICULTURE & THE ENVIRONMENT -- WHAT SCIENTIFIC STUDIES TELL US:  MODERN INTENSIVE AGRICULTURE IS FAR BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAN IS LOW-YIELD AGRICULTURE, INCLUDING ORGANIC FARMING. ENVIRONMENTALISTS MUST RECANT ON THEIR CRITICISMS OF HIGH-YIELD FARMING & CONFINEMENT FEEDING OF LIVESTOCK. GREENS MUST STOP DEMONIZING THE CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS, THE PESTICIDES, THE CONFINEMENT FEEDLOTS, & THE BIOTECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO PRODUCE IN THE YEAR 2050 TWICE AS MUCH FOOD AS IS PRODUCED ON TODAY'S FARMED ACRES.

A NEW REPORT OF THE USDA ON CLIMATE CHANGE & ITS EXPECTED IMPACT ON U.S. AGRICULTURE OVER THE NEXT HALF-CENTURY:  PREDICTIONS OF SERIOUS CLIMATE-RELATED FARMING PROBLEMS AHEAD -- HOW MUCH FAITH SHOULD WE PUT IN THE NEW USDA CLIMATE-CHANGE FORECASTS?  WHAT KNOWN FACTS UNDERMINE THE VALIDITY OF THE THEORY OF "RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING"?

THE EPA & THE POLITICS OF ENVIRONMENTALISM:  LEFTWING POLITICAL OPERATORS CURRENTLY IN CONTROL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY & WORKING TO MAINTAIN THEIR ALLIANCE WITH THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT, ARE DETERMINED TO ELIMINATE USE OF THE HERBICIDE ATRAZINE IN U.S. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION -- THE PROBABLE CONSEQUENCE:  HIGHER FOOD PRICES, MORE SOIL EROSION, LESS SUSTAINABLE FARMING, & MORE ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT, HUMAN HEALTH, & THE SAFETY OF IRRADIATED FOOD:   OPPOSITION OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO PRODUCE IRRADIATION -- THE ENVIRONMENTALIST CLAIM THAT IRRADIATED FOOD IS NOT SAFE, THAT IRRADIATION WILL MASK OFF-FLAVORS & THE SMELL OF SPOILED FOOD, DESTROY NUTRITIONAL VALUES & MAKE THE FOOD RADIOACTIVE, THAT THE CONSUMPTION OF SUCH FOOD CAN CAUSE CANCER IN HUMAN BEINGS -- A SCIENCE-BASED ANALYSIS & REFUTATION OF ENVIRONMENTALIST PROPAGANDA RELATING TO FOOD IRRADIATION -- THE DANGER TO HUMAN HEALTH PRESENTED BY ORGANICALLY GROWN PRODUCE & HOW IRRADIATION CAN PRACTICALLY ELIMINATE THE DANGER

ENVIRONMENTALISM & ELITISM VERSUS BIOTECHNOLOGY:  ENVIRONMENTALIST & ELITIST OPPOSITION TO THE USE OF GENETIC ENGINEERING IN AGRICULTURE -- OPPOSITION TO THE GENETICALLY MODIFIED, HIGH-YIELD FOOD CROPS THAT ARE A KEY HOPE FOR PRODUCING THE EXTRA FOOD NEEDED BY OUR RICHER, MORE POPULOUS WORLD IN THE DECADES JUST AHEAD -- THE INADEQUACY OF ORGANIC FARMING -- THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION -- HOW ENVIRONMENTALISTS & ELITISTS WOULD STOP & REVERSE HUMAN PROGRESS MADE DURING & SINCE THE GREEN REVOLUTION
