Did you know that most people in the world live on $2.00 a day? What is happening to them as food prices continue to rise?
The World Bank has created the Global Food Response Program to address this issue in the world's poorest countries.
The Financial Times (UK) contains news and analysis about rising world food prices and covers specific countries, specific crops (such as grains), the role of biofuels, organization and government actions, reasons for the rising prices, and more.
The mission of this news service from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is "[t]o keep world food supply/demand under continuous review, and provide early warnings of food crises." Find a FAQ about the 2008 food price crisis, relevant periodical publications (such as on crop prospects), photo gallery, region and country reports, satellite imagery of countries in nutritional crisis, and policy recommendations.
