BBC Video about rising food prices in China.

The production of bio fuels is driving up prices for food - as well as the growing demand of the awakening giants India and China. There are two billion stomachs to fill and they no longer just eat a bowl of rice.

One aspect of global climate change and peak oil has been hardly discussed in public: food supply.

We highly depend on oil for food production, fertilizer and obviously distribution. We continuously kill huge amounts of livestock, because of diseases like the birdflu, but also more and more farmland is unusable, because of climate change or environmental problems (I am looking at you China).

Africa, who could produce loads of food, is shut out of most markets, because of protectionism in the US and EU.

So expect ever higher prices for food for the coming winter.
