Bacteria in our food kill more people than terrorism http://nyti.ms/kXKHGz And that's just in the US where we have meaningful food safety regulations. How will we provide safe food to the world in the future when it is home to twice as many people? The food crisis will make the energy crisis look like a mere inconvenience. http://amplify.com/u/a14xvc

Right now, we're at risk of falling behind. See U.S. Said to Be Falling Behind in ‘Green’ Technologies - http://nyti.ms/jCxmNP http://amplify.com/u/a14sdh
