: Agricultural LawGlobal Food Crisis
By Jim Chen at al.
This week, the head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Josette Sheeran called for "urgent action to tackle the 'silent tsunami' of rising food prices which threatens to push more than 100 million people worldwide into hunger."The PBS broadcast, News Hour reported a stern warning from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "If not handled properly, this crisis could result in a cascade of others ... and become a multidimensional problem affecting economic growth, so
cial progress and even political security around the world." More than 34 countries experienced protest, unrest, or food riots within the last month.
Today, the Washington Post began a multi- part series, Global Food Crisis: The New World of Soaring Food Prices, with at least four daily reports, online videos, chats, and background information.
