	<title>New food technologies could release 80% of the world's farmland back to nature</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/234325.html</link>

Therefore global conservation, currently focused on the COP15 summit in Montreal, will fail unless it addresses the underlying issue of food production.</description>
