Dr. David Songstad talked with me about a concept called "convergence" as the key to a stable global agricultural platform to feed the world. food security and energy security are inseparable. And it is a very simple concept, when the price of oil goes up, the price of food goes up. That led to the idea of the whole convergence thing. With the convergence of food security, energy security and sustainable agriculture. The spirit of convergence, just think of a Venn diagram where you have three circles which all overlap to some degree. It is that mutually inclusive zone where all three have that common interest, that is the convergence. As it relates to food security and the enormous task confronting us of feeding and overpopulated undernourished world, give me in outlook, is it possible? It is possible but we have to be smart about it. This is where it is going to take all the tools in the toolbox. With convergence in mind, we have to be willing to be open-minded with regards to every aspect of technology, every aspect of agronomic's that is out there, not just in the United States in the entire world.
