O8大力推动种植玉米生产ethanol。仅仅6年，后果已经在那里了。
大面积的原始植被/湿地变成玉米地，水土流失，被化肥污染的水进入水系，甚至影响
到饮用水,流入的污染水在墨西哥湾造成大面积的死亡区，水体生物灭绝。
最有意思的地方在于，生产ethanol的前期后期要花费的能量比生产出的ethanol能产生

联合国敦促美国削减玉米转乙醇生产
市场 2012年08月10日 08:10 文 / liya
By Javier Blas and Gregory Meyer 金融时报
联合国呼吁美国停止玉米-乙醇生产强制令，以此向正美国总统奥巴马施压，希望其解
决“食品or燃油”之争。
美国大部分乙醇的原料是玉米。受益于玉米价格走高的州，比如Iowa州，比较支持发展
生物燃油；与此相对，像畜牧业发达的州，比如德州，则希望削减乙醇生产，以期玉米
价格降低。
联合国的敦促得到许多州的官员、议员和肉畜类生产者的支持。他们对飙升的玉米价格
表示担忧。国际上，20国集团也对美国乙醇政策表示关切。
由于国会的强制令，美国需将越40%的玉米转化成乙醇。联合国粮农组织总干事 José
Graziano da Silva警告说，这种命令完全无视干旱导致玉米产量严重下滑的现状。及
时暂停该乙醇生产法令，能让粮食市场获得喘息之机，也能让更多的玉米生产成口粮和
牲畜粮食。
然而，一些分析家却认为，ZF暂停乙醇转化对抑制粮食价格作用有限。就算没... 阅读全帖 |

中国同意恢复进口美国猪肉
美国政府贸易代表荣.柯克(Ron Kirk)和农业部部长汤姆.威尔萨克(Tom Vilsack)表示
，美国和中国经过协商，于周四达成协议，美国将恢复向中国出口猪肉。去年，出于对
甲型H1N1流感(俗称“猪流感”)的担忧，中国暂时停止了从美国进口猪肉。这两位美国
政府的代表还表示，俄罗斯也将对美国出口的猪肉打开市场。（据法新社、华盛顿） |

美国和中国谈判代表于18日达成协议，美国将恢复向中国出口猪肉。但在贸易重启前，
还会有一
些细节问题需要处理。
综合外电3月19日报道 美国农业部(Department of Agriculture)18日指出，美国和中
国谈判代表
于18日达成协议，美国将恢复向中国出口猪肉。美国农业部和美国贸易代表署的官员当
周在北京
与中方代表进行谈判，寻求弥合阻碍贸易恢复的分歧。
美国农业部称，一旦双方最终敲定出口文件，猪肉贸易将即时恢复。这表明在贸易重启
前，还会
有一些细节问题需要处理。
美国农业部部长Tom Vilsack称，这一决议对美国养猪业者是个好消息。此前中国禁止
进口美国猪
肉已经几乎有一年的时间。
以出口量计算，2008年中国是美国的第二大猪肉出口市场，但因09年H1N1型流感(曾被
称为猪流
感)爆发引发担忧，中国禁止美国向其出口猪肉，两国此类贸易因此中断。
