If the world were a village of 100 people, 50 of us would be malnourished, and one would be dying of starvation.1 There is a constant struggle to try to make the food industry meet the needs of the world population. Our culture’s large energy consumption and use of fossil fuels has reduced international food production as well as the part of the economy tied to the food industry. The processes used in the food industry have also contributed to the effects fossil fuels have on our environment. We need to find methods to decrease the amount of energy consumed by the growth, production, and transportation of food, thereby protecting our economy and the food industry.
