Will the world go short of food?
The head of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that the rise in basic food costs could continue until 2010. What impact will this have?
Head of the WFP, Josette Sheeran, has warned that global food reserves are at their lowest level in 30 years. She said that the WFP may have to ration foods due to funding shortages.
Ms Sheeran linked rising food costs to energy and grain prices, the effects of climate change and demand for biofuels.
Afghanistan, Bangladesh and El Salvador are already seeing the impact of rising food prices, according to the WFP.
