 We're Doing to Make Sure it Happens Again\, Soon - Dan Kim\, Pembroke Coll

CONTACT:Simon Schlachter
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reality of the highly distorted interna
 tional agriculture market\, what has been done to fix it by the WTO\, and 
 how their efforts have contributed to make agriculture a more volatile mar
 ket.  The mainstream explanation for the rapidly rising food prices has fo
 cused on the increasing demand for agriculture products.  This talk explor
 es the other side that is probably more guilty - supply-side effects.  Bot
 h economics and politics combined explain the crisis\, and we are nowhere 
 near close to solving the problems.
