OregonWines.com: Sommelier, Educate Thyself!
It was a lazy Saturday afternoon. We'd just returned from a wedding and were en route to pick up our son from my brother's house, when we stopped in at the Market of Choice in West Linn, to pick up dinner for an impromptu barbeque.

Global food crisis looms as climate change and population growth strip fertile land
by Ian Sample, printed in the Guardian, August 31 2007
Climate change and an increasing population could trigger a global food crisis in the next half century as countries struggle for fertile land to grow crops and rear animals, scientists warned yesterday.
To keep up with the growth in human population, more food will have to be produced worldwide over the next 50 years than has been during the past 10,000 years combined, the experts said.
But in many countries a combination of poor farming practices and deforestation will be exacerbated by climate change to steadily degrade soil fertility, leaving vast areas unsuitable for crops or grazing.
Competition over sparse resources may lead to conflicts and environmental destruction, the scientists fear.
