More to add...

Another affect to our livesare being affected since the rise of gas prices. The food prices are soaring and the world is in need of bumper harvests but the fertilizer that was bountiful of commodities is becoming scarce and expensive. Something that used to cost less than 1,000 pesos a year ago is not 1,800 pesos which is a tremendous increase. Because the increase in price of oil, the prices of fertilizers will also increase and making it hard to afford. Fertilizers have vitamins for the soil and estimated that one third of the protein consumed by humans is a result of fertilizer. With the high fertilizer and fuel prices, it will put strain on all farmers but especially in the developing world. We already live in a world where there are not as many people who are farming and farmers are decreasing in a fast pace. These problems just doesn't seem to cease by inself but more and more seems to pile on and keeps on tumbling. These continuous problems have me really thinking of the future and what will happen.
