    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, right now there is a World Bank report that says about 100 million people worldwide live below the poverty as a result of this food shortage. This has sparked riots from Bangladesh to Egypt. It is considered as the first real economic crisis of globalisation. The US has diverted a third of its corn to make ethanol, the EU has diverted half of its vegetables to produce bio-diesel and farmers worldwide have been asked to produce bio-diesel instead of food. I understand that those are precautionary methods. We cannot keep playing deep end! We need to be proactive and open. Apart from the precautionary methods that the Assistant Minister is telling us of now, what have they put in place? Is there a comprehensive plan to make sure that we do not play deep end? Instead of just preventing what is happening we should actually move forward to make sure that this country is self-reliant and has enough food. This will ensure that we do not keep on asking for more or having high starvation levels."
