TEXT OF STORY
BILL RADKE: Rising world food prices will be the topic of an emergency U.N. meeting being held today in Rome. The aim is to restore stability in the food markets and avoid riots.
The BBC's Duncan Kennedy reports.
DUNCAN KENNEDY: Russian harvests hit by drought, flooding in Pakistan and China, water shortages in Brazil -- all big food-producing nations and all facing problems. And that means prices are going up. Take the cost of buckwheat in Russia for example: It's risen by 11 percent this month alone. Elsewhere, meat and sugar prices have hit a 20-year high. There have already been riots in Mozambique over the price rises.
Rob Subbaraman from Nomura Bank, says there will be more rises in food prices as people get better off.
ROB SUBBARAMAN: In these developing economies, there's a growing appetite to have higher calorie intake. Wanting more meat, more fruit, more milk -- and these things are very important.
The organizers of today's summit intend to share information and coordinate strategies to avoid a repeat of what happened three years ago, when there were riots in a number of countries as cereal and other prices soared.
In Rome, I'm the BBC's Duncan Kennedy for Marketplace.
Manifesto!
Very much and say the world is beautiful and the Russian politicians about ecology, about neftezavisimosti, the nation's health. As a result, polluted Atlantic Ocean, be sure to have dirtied Arctic and Lake Baikal. Probably the nation's health will suffer? Soundly criticized Russian politicians and tycoons for their fraud on the stock exchanges, instead, is nothing standing policy can not offer. They are so stupid and so ineptly managed economies, except for trade in oil products and gas, essentially, robbery, nothing else to do just do not know how. So I decided to contact you with this manifesto-treatment to rid the world from dependence on totalitarian regimes in which bureaucrats have to buy hydrocarbons and thus finance their folly!
And my advice is purely engineering, thoughtful and a calculated decision. It is a simple and effective innovation consists of the following components:
- The engine that runs on water, with no emissions.
- Jet engine that runs on water in any liquid or gaseous medium.
- Wind Sailing installation, develops power hundreds of times higher than currently available analogs of the screw.
- River, sailing high-performance installation that does not require the construction of dams or any special hydraulic structures.
Read carefully!
The engine on water, mounted on the vehicle combined with a powerful electric generator, the machine will move with the help of electric motors on the wheels, it will not only carry car owner, but still give him the opportunity to sell the generated electricity in the parking mode of operation! Due to this, the owner of this machine is easy to extinguish a loan by selling the current, even if he is unemployed! Each Americans or Europeans an opportunity, buying a car, get a little extra income source, and to credit institutions 100% confidence in the return of a car loan! In addition, he stops the car owner to pay for the consumed electricity in the home and can use electricity produced by its electric vehicles for their own business. This is the excessive demand for such vehicles, safely satisfied with you gentlemen! You will always be in positive territory, as an abundance of electricity in the market will never lead to a crisis of overproduction. Any surplus energy will be used for the splitting of the sea water into hydrogen, which will be the main source of heat and oxygen, which can be transported in large metropolitan areas and produce to improve air quality! You have earned nationwide respect and love that is expressed to you in the trillions of income, people will vote with their wallets for you that you do and help them fill! Well, how solid?
Your investment in big business such as construction of power plants with my engine, wind or river major energy projects will bring even greater gains, as payback period of months, not decades, as now, due to simplicity of design and highest performance. Planes with jet engines, working on fresh water, will fly at all without refueling for years, adding to the atmospheric water tanks. In my innovation is the second mission, they will be extremely in demand in defense agencies, to create a sophisticated and highly efficient weapons, for example, would allow courts to develop an underwater air speed under the water and be invulnerable to enemy torpedoes.
The Government of America and Great Britain behaving strangely, like agree they need to, but time is running out and "things are right there! So I appeal to those who are most concerned about cleanliness and environmental safety on the planet! Proposal to cooperate, it is mutually beneficial deal that will bring all the participants only the respect and confidence in the future!
