10 Reasons for increasing world food production Century Area for food Reason for area increase Area productivty Important reasons 18 + Indre ekspansjon ++ Removal of barren land, new species eg potato Colonial expansion, opening of the praries + Increased fertilizing, new machines 20 + Oil replace hay and grain ++ Industrial fertilizer, genetic improvement 21 - Grain and Soy replace oil 0/+ General improvement, increase in South?

20 Trendshift? Is the bottom reached? Will we see a new period with increasing prices? Was the fossil area of an historical exception? Will the post-fossil society be better for agriculture? First time since the American civil war we had increasing prices with expanding production
21 Future NB Prices were increasing on increasing supply demand driven Short view : Increase in acreage for 2008, set-aside released in EU. Could give reduces prices of wheat with bumper crop in 2008 Battle over acreage may give increased prices of other products (maize, soy, cotton) Long view Increased demand will continue Supply may be lagging Increased area in East Europe and Latin-Amerika, Africa demand investment in infrastructure Greater price variation Energyprices will most likely make a new floor in the markets - the prices of the nineties and early 2000-will not come back.
22 Unfair competition
23 Agriculture is not industry Industry Increasing returns Large economies of scale Dynamic imperfect competition Technological change leads to higher wages for producers Irreversible high-wages Agriculture Sooner or later diminishing returns Small economies of scale Perfect competition Technological change leads most often to lower prices for consumers Reversible low-wages
24 Jordbruk drives på naturens premisser
25 Bonden i sentrum
26 Political consequences Norway More resources to national production More granaries? More agriculture in development aid From niche to volume? Relatively small political consequences in Norway the agricultural policy of the 20. century is more or less in place
27 Political consequences in South Increased focus on national food production, through independent farmer Focus on prices and ownership to land More granaries maybe regional solutions Increased tariff protection, changed policy in IMF og World bank Investment in infrastructur for good agricultural areas More cooperatives? equal price independt of size and distance to market
28 Back to the 30ies? Each country decide their own protection Freedom for Market regulation Support for national food production Prefernces for developing countries Agriculture is based on nature and the policy must be adapted accordingly
