Rising world food prices: How to address the problem? [1]

Strong and new forces of change in the world food equation are transforming food consumption, production and markets. Unlike the pattern prevailing for the past few decades, today's global agricultural system is very much driven by the demand side. With income growth in emerging economies, globalisation and urbanisation, the demand for agricultural products will continue to grow and shift toward high-value commodities. Partly driven by the expansion of biofuels and demand for feed, strong global cereal consumption is likely to continue.
