The grain-based foods industry, the center of this magazine’s universe, as well as the broad food industry to which this publishing company is strongly committed, have done relatively well — some might even say very well — in what is now considered one of the worst recessions of modern times.
Food issues, which increasingly involve the food industry as much as intergovernmental organizations and national bodies, have themselves grown in magnitude and toughness, regardless of the great progress made in production, distribution and reaching consumers.
This year's experience ought to alert grain-based foods to the real dangers of any influence that might spur farmers to further reduce wheat plantings.
