This whole food thing is aimed at putting the American farmer out of business. In ten years look for rampant hunger in the US.

None of that 44 billion will be spent in the US.

I live near a port city, Portland, and the number of people this will effect is huge. People don't realize how many jobs go into transporting food.
Ships need to be piloted, docked, cleaned, inspected and loaded. There are people who's sole job is to drive around to train yards and gather grain for inspection. My own personal feeling is this is to get the UN to send hybrid seed purchased from Monsanto, as this seems to be the tack they take. Although there is a 10 to 20% production gain because of hybrid vigor, you will lose the gain because you are locked into purchasing seed for 4 times the cost.
