This in itself makes access to bioenergy a right to food issue. Increasingly, though, modern bioenergy 4 is becoming prominent with a different kind of land-use, based on cash crops and plantations, and with the use of 7 technologically advanced processing of biomass into liquid biofuels. Therefore, the term agrofuels might describe the issue more aptly. In recent years, agrofuels have been seen as part of the solution in combating climate change. They are a 10 renewable source of energy, and provide new employment and income opportunities for rural populations. In fact, for 13 the first time in many decades, agricultural commodity prices are stabilizing at higher levels. In principle, this could benefit the masses of poor small-scale farmers. 16 At the same time, however, poor and landless people are consumers themselves, and marginal price increases may ruin the livelihoods of those who spend up to 19 80 percent of their income on food. Statistical evidence shows that world caloric consumption typically declines as prices rise, by a ratio of 1:2. If the trend continues, with 22 every one percent rise in the cost of food, a new 16 million people would be made food insecure. FAO research shows that food prices will be increasingly linked to oil prices. Internet: <www.globalpolicy.org> (adapted). Based on the text above, judge the following items. 16 Around half of the people over the world use traditional bionergy primarily for cooking. 17 Modern bioenergy is increasingly being associated with a different type of land-use, based on food production for family consumption. 18 Agrofuels is a label given to the advanced processing of crops. 19 Lately, agrofuels have been considered part of the solution to help with climate change. 20 People living in rural areas will be negatively affected by the new source of energy mentioned in the text. 21 In general, the more expensive the price of agricultural commodities, the better for poor small-scale agricultural producers. As for economic issues, it can be stated that the use of 22 agrofuels also presents a negative effect. 23 Caloric consumption is not associated with economic decline. 24 There will be a growing relation between oil prices and food costs. 25 In the text, “Therefore” (R.8) means Furthermore.

Etats-Unis: le chômage au plus haut depuis 15 ans 1 L’économie américaine a perdu 533.000 emplois en novembre 2008, portant le taux de chômage à 6,7%. Barack Obama, le président élu américain, préconise des mesures “urgentes” face à la mauvaise situation de l’emploi aux Etats-Unis. 4 Réagissant après la publication, vendredi 5 décembre, de ces informations, Barack Obama reconnaît qu’ “il n’y a pas de 7 remède rapide ou facile à cette crise, qui s’est développée depuis de nombreuses années, et cela va sans doute empirer avant de s’améliorer”. Dans un communiqué, M. Obama 10 ajoute encore: “Mais il est temps de réagir avec détermination et urgence pour remettre les gens au travail et relancer notre économie.” Les pertes d’emplois ont été très importantes dans 13 les principaux secteurs de l’industrie, qui a perdu 163.000 emplois, mais encore plus massives dans le secteur des 16 services, qui a supprimé 370.000 emplois. Le secteur des services représente plus de 80% des emplois américains. Or, il concerne environ deux tiers des 19 suppressions d’emplois récentes, alors qu’au cours des huit premiers mois de l’année, les pertes d’emplois avaient été en majeure partie limitées aux secteurs de la construction et de 22 l’industrie manufacturière. Depuis le début officiel de la récession aux Etats- Unis, en décembre 2007, le taux de chômage américain est 25 monté d’ 1,7 point de pourcentage. Internet: <tempsreel.nouvelobs.com> (adapté). D’après les informations du texte ci-dessus, jugez les propositions suivantes. “empirer” (R.8) par s’aggraver.
