Virgin Amazon rainforest is seen bordering an area of hundreds of hectares of farmland that was jungle until recently, destroyed for lumber, farming and cattle raising, in Mato Grosso State, one of the Brazilian states with the greatest deforestation, in this May 18, 2005 file photo. Vast areas of idle land in Brazil could be part of the solution to the world food crisis but the danger is that surging prices will provoke more burning of the Amazon rain forest, experts said.
