Christ, am I the only one reading this?
Again from the Guardian UK: India, Yemen, Mexico, Burkina Faso and several other countries have had, or been close to, food riots in the last year, something not seen in decades of low global food commodity prices. Meanwhile, there are shortages of beef, chicken and milk in Venezuela and other countries as governments try to keep a lid on food price inflation.
Another quote: The food crisis is being compounded by growing populations, extreme weather and ecological stress, according to a number of recent reports. This week the UN Environment Programme said the planet's water, land, air, plants, animals and fish stocks were all in "inexorable decline".
I doubt UNEP uses the word "inexorable" without meaning it literally.
By the way, thank you to everybody who responded to my last post. I'm not really able to respond back right yet, but you are all very generous.
