Abstract:Since 2005, the rise (in real terms) in the price of almost every food item has revived fears of a return to global food insecurity. Some government policy responses to the food crisis have been unhelpful, and will aggravate the problem in the longer term. Food security is a particularly sensitive issue in poorer countries, and demands for it can easily manifest themselves on the streets, causing political instability. Some causes of the present food price rise are likely to continue in the longer term, so the international community will have to find ways of adjusting to a new era of dearer food.
