GovernmentsFor governments these days there are more important issues to address than terrorism. 2007 en 2008 will be complete other years than 2001. 2001 has shocked us, we have react in panic, now other issues demands an answer or runs the agenda. Anticipating the effects of rising energy prices is a good starter. High oil prices will change economies (and therefore lives and societies) completely.
In this Umfield governments must address the availability and price of food. New situations, new tasks. Fighting terrorism is only breaking down civil rights. Governments must take care of their inhabitants, not control them. The last thing we want is a DRR type of society, with equal economical performance.
Governments can not ignore any longer the future effects of rising oil prices. The challenge for political involved people and government officials is changing the steer wheel of priorities.
Fighting terrorism is defensive, not building or contributing and will lead to governmental control states, with descending economies. Addressing effects of a changing world is the offensive act what governments should do. Not next year. This year.
Governments must actively promote local food production in a low energy demanding and low space demanding way. Not protective, but just guiding.
Grow Indus advices (continental, national, regional and also local) governments by production of governmental food supply policy plans and by organizing governmental policy conferences concerning food supply of big cities when oil prices climb due to Peak Oil, in the same way Indus Corporation advises governments in making their economy vital and sustainable (and not controlled and weak) by innovation.
