Gluten-free exhibitors make pitches to restaurants

They've come from California, the Northwest, Colorado and even Canada to pitch restaurants on buying gluten-free products for everything from pizza crusts to cookies.

There's Kim Reiniger, marketing manager of Kinnikinnick Foods Inc. of Edmonton, Canada, who said that with 10 percent to 12 percent of the population wanting gluten-free products it makes sound business sense to sell their company's products to restaurants.

"It's a challenge for those who want a gluten-free meal and want something to eat besides a salad," Reiniger said.

Biofuel targets pressure corn supplies
The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization reported that world food prices rose 2.2 percent in February to a new record high and could rise further still if drought continues to decimate China’s wheat harvest. The reasons for high prices: drought in Russia and Argentina, floods in Canada and Pakistan, export bans, and panic buying and hoarding. These supply disruptions have led agricultural economists to ask, “If the world can’t properly feed 7 billion people today, how will it feed 9 billion in 2050?” In fact, the FAO estimates food output will have to rise 70 percent by 2050 to keep pace with population growth.
