Jochen -

.... Agricultural policy - that's a huge socialist, protectionist mess, I agree. A surplus of food is created and destroyed. Mountains of milk, butter and meat are kept in refrigerated warehouses.

Actually, that description often applies rather well to American agricultural policy as well. The 'problem' is that US agricultural productivity has grown at 3.5% per annum for, say, 150 years. Of course this would be a combination of improved productivity of small farms and a massive level of consolidation. I don't have a feel if or how this applies to Europe as well.

Regards, Don

Surplus or maldistribution? People are still starving in the Third World.
