High Cost Of Food Causing Riots, Widespread Poverty Around The World

February 24th, 2011

“The World Bank says food prices are at “dangerous levels” and have pushed 44 million more people into poverty since last June.

According to the latest edition of its Food Price Watch, prices rose by 15% in the four months between October 2010 and January this year.

Food price inflation is felt disproportionately by the poor, who spend over half their income on food.”

What do you think?

As a philanthropist, how would you approach the problem of unaffordable food?
