The dramatic rise in world food prices has once again forced hunger to the top of the humanitarian agenda. Aid groups have long been warning about the consequences of trade imbalances and climate change, but food riots in Africa and Asia have finally brought the issue into the limelight. The United Nations said this week that 100 million people are now urgently at risk of not having enough food to eat -- and that includes people on every continent of the world.
Rising fuel costs, erratic weather patterns, and the conversion of land to grow crops for biofuels are all factors. Rising incomes in poorer countries have also increased food demand in recent years, diminishing global reserves. To protect their citizens, some food exporting countries have now limited what they send abroad. And aid groups can’t provide as much as they used to.
But the biggest concern may be that these changes are not temporary, since they result largely from fundamental shifts in the global economy and environment.
