Current location - Recipe Complete Network - Complete cookbook of home-style dishes - I watched a video of Professor Lang Xianping today. He said that rice is the main food in underdeveloped and poor countries, while wheat is the main food in developed countries.

This does not mean that rich countries eat wheat and poor countries eat rice. But interestingly, rich countries are basically distributed in places where wheat is grown, such as Europe, America and Canada. Developing countries, such as Southeast Asia and India, grow rice in low latitudes. In fact, the places where rice is eaten are ok, and relatively backward countries eat corn, such as sub-Saharan African countries and Latin American countries. It is very sad that corn is mainly used as feed in developed countries and our country. The rich countries in the world are basically located in the area north of 30 degrees north latitude, which only produces wheat. It can also be said that the colder the climate, the smarter and healthier people will be, and a smart and healthy nation will breed a smart and healthy country. Smart financial speculators took advantage of this. They control and raise rice prices to exploit poor countries. And they eat wheat themselves, so they won't be affected.

Now agriculture is not agriculture, but a food industry that relies on oil. The bad news is that except for Israel, the world food supply system has experienced a huge crisis and an inevitable trend of production reduction. In short, there will be a real food crisis in our lifetime. We are actually eating oil (fertilizer, pesticide, electricity). If the oil runs out, the existing food supply will be reduced by at least 65%. Even if the oil supply is sufficient, the wheat yield will drop by 30% in the next 30 years due to the continuous increase of population, the decrease of cultivated land, soil erosion and the decline of land quality. Now this situation has begun to show signs. The governments of major countries are well aware of this. The fact that major countries are now relying on a biotechnology or biochemical technology to "genetically modify" shows that the yield and disease resistance of genetically modified plants may have a qualitative leap, such as genetically modified soybeans. However, people don't know whether God will allow it or not, so western countries sell genetically modified crops to almost all developing countries, including China, and test whether people of all races will have mutation or Resident Evil after eating genetically modified crops. Just like now, we import genetically modified soybeans and corn and grow genetically modified vegetables (yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, etc.). No one except God knows how long human madness can last.
