Many of you know I've been advocating for better food and agriculture policy relating to climate change thus the main reason I started Gratitude Gourmet.
Here's a great May 2011 Nature article called Food and the Future by Anna Petherick where she discusses this exact topic. She begins her article with: "There may be no better moment to ask politicians for a binding climate change agreement than when food prices peak. Call it rational self-interest. Already this year, spikes in agricultural commodities such as wheat and sugar have helped to ignite civil unrest that ended presidential careers in Tunisia and Egypt. When the world experienced a comparable food price shock in 2007–2008, protests ruptured into deadly riots in several countries and 100 million additional people were left hungry and malnourished1. The full article is here. Comments are closed.
