Food Prices on the rise worldwide - many poor people will face hunger

wa_food_prices_rise_worldwide

Worldwide food prices are on the rise - sometimes up to 20-30%! While people in rich countries will still be able to fill their bellies - in many poorer nations many will face hunger. In China and the Philippines for example Governments tried to reassure consumers that they won’t face any shortages and prices won’t continue to sky rocket. Famous last words.

And it’s not just developing and poor nations facing problems. In Italy the price for pasta has risen up to 30%. And pasta is certainly not a luxury food.

Have we hit the “sound barrier” for human (over) population? Is the current industrial food production sustainable with higher and higher oil prices and more and more serious damage to the environment?

Maybe we are facing food riot?
