The food crisis is only getting worse, as a variety of factors (rising prosperity of India and China, corn ethanol, farm subsidies for western producers, rising oil prices etc.) are contributing to higher and higher food prices.
As African poor are selling off precious livestock just to buy basic staples, I’m almost glad they don’t have net connexions to see western press wringing their hands over the fact that buyers at costco can only buy one massive bag of rice each.
