Puerto Rico's Food Dependency

   Do you know Less than 10% of the total amount of food locally consumed is produced in the island. There is no doubt - a food dependency over 90% is alarming.
 
  The Asociación de Agricultores de P.R.,said recently that our food supply would be exhausted in as little as ten days (fresh food) to four week(canned food) if imports were to stop. Think about it we will run out of food in four weeks. Then what? But of course this will never happen because this is imposible. Or is it? If in September 10, 2001 I would have told you that the Twin Towers were going to collapse you would have told me I was crazy.



Peak Oil Production




   Food prices depend mostly on gas prices now imgine oil at $200 a barrel. How much would food cost then? Oil production has been in decline since 2005 and every year less oil is discover. This mean we have reach peak oil production and every year oil will be more scarce. Think about it!
