Food Security

I am not sure if this is because it is election time in Australia or it has become a national concern. Worrying about Losing farmland and food resources & security has become an issue on TV in these 2 weeks in Australia. I think that every country should try to save their own farmland for their own people. It is not just for food security, but it is also environmental friendly.

Here are 2 reports in ABC.

Foreign interests including state-owned companies from China and the Middle East are increasingly looking to Australia to secure their food production by purchasing key agricultural assets.
