Abstract:
When grain prices reached historic highs earlier this year and food riots broke out in dozens of countries, governments and experts were quick to point fingers. How did this happen? Was it biofuels? protectionism? Climate change? or those Chinese and Indians, with their growing taste for meat? Jim Harkness explains where the crisis came from and gives his thoughts on where our food system is going.
