handle is hein.journals/geojaf9 and id is 1 raw text is: Georgetown Journal of International Affairs WINTERSPRING 2008, VOLUME IX, NUMBER I Editors' Note ForumCharting11he_ uturoofod 3 Introduction BY MARC J. COHEN New technologies are forcing rapid globalization of markets, and the agriculture industry has no choice but to adapt. There is, however, a stark disparity between developed and developing nations: researchers in developed nations are embracing a biotech and GMO revolution, while developing nations are struggling to manage unfavorable intellectual property laws and trade barriers. Biofuel production stretches agricultural resources in the North, famine cripples economies in the South, the Green Revolution saves lives in the East, and the WTO rules against governments in the West. Though policy experts participating in the current round of trade negotiations in Doha are attempting to address the challenges facing farmers, the outcome is unclear. This forum aims to explore the fate of our farms in the 2Ist century. 7 The Softest Subsidy Agricultural Subsid Cuts, New Biotechnologies, Developing Countries, and Cotton KYM ANDERSON AND ERNESTO VALENZUELA 17 Food, Feed, or Fuel?
