Financial Times examines global food security issues

Jan 27 2012

This Financial Times analysis examines food security, writing, "Climate change, ill-judged policies, protectionism, urbanization and plain greed have all conspired to reignite Malthusian prophesies of a growing world population unable to feed itself." The article states, "The prospect of more starving people as staples become unaffordable has put the question of food security firmly on to the top table of global policymaking," and discusses the economics of food; production, access, and waste; and genetic modification of crops (Lucas/Fontanella-Khan, 1/25).
