DESCRIPTION:The rise in food prices of 2008 was followed by a fall\, but p
 rices are still high and indeed rising again.  As a result there are now o
 ver 1 billion chronically hungry people in the world.  Additional to this 
 challenge\, we have to increase food production by 70-100% by 2050. There 
 is much high level rhetoric and\, at the grass roots\, many laudable proje
 cts\, but we need agricultural development that takes ideas and experience
  to scale.  I believe we need a new ‘Doubly Green Revolution' involving 
 innovative and imaginative applications of technologies and financing.
