Dear Asuma,
Here are my answers. I am the first student who answer your Qs.=^:^=
Q1. How did the price of corn which imports from the United States change?
U.S. corn prices from $2.80 to $4.20 a bushel over the previous several months.
Q2. What did the new president in Mexico do?
In January 2007, Mexico's new president, Felipe Calderón, was forced to cap the prices of corn products.
Q3. What kinds of oil's prices are increasing? Give three examples.
The prices of oilseeds, including soybeans, rapeseeds, and sunflower seeds, are projected to rise by 26 percent by 2010 and 76 percent by 2020, and wheat prices by 11 percent by 2010 and 30 percent by 2020. In the poorest parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where cassava is a staple, its price is expected to increase by 33 percent by 2010 and 135 percent by 2020. The projected price increases may be mitigated if crop yields increase substantially or ethanol production based on other raw materials (such as trees and grasses) becomes commercially viable. But unless biofuel policies change significantly, neither development is likely.
Q4. What will it result in that cassava-based ethanol production become popular?
The production of cassava-based ethanol may pose an especially grave threat to the food security of the world's poor.
Q5. What did World Food Summit in the 1996 set out?
Participants in the 1996 World Food Summit set out to cut the number of chronically hungry people in the world--people who do not eat enough calories regularly to be healthy and active--from 823 million in 1990 to about 400 million by 2015.
Q6. For Japan, biofuels should be shipped from other countries. Some people says that it is meaningless for Japan to begin using biofuels instead of fossil fuel, because a large amount of gasoline is used when biofuels are shipped to Japan. Do you think using biofuels in Japan is an effective way to reduce CO2 in the air?
Yes, I think it is an effective way to reduce C02 in the air.
Q7. Do you have any good idea to reduce CO2 in the air?
No, I don’t know. I am sorry; I am not good at Chemistry.
