Lester Brown on grain prices, oil, and food scarcity

I don't always enjoy Lester Brown because I find he glosses over economic effects in his various prognostications. Although I'm no Julian Simon, I do tend to see a more powerful and very positive invisible hand effect in markets for key commodities that a lot of environmentalists mistakenly identify as hopelessly failing.

But I did agree with most of this assessment.
