09/28/07 Food Chain Radio - Michael Olson (53:52)

Michael Olson interviews David Blume, as well as Larry Mitchaell of the American Corn Growers Association.

Our oil companies have been tossed out of Venezuela, and so we rush to replace hydrocarbons with carbohydrates by planting corn from sea to shining sea. This leads one to ask, “Food or fuel?” Topics include the extent to which agricultural resources are being diverted from food production to fuel production; what impact that diversion has on the price of food; and whether we can farm for fuel and food.
