By now you have heard about food riots around the world, from Haiti to Yemen, across Africa, and elsewhere. I feel as though this blog should be weighing in on what is going on, but we’re all overwhelmed with other commitments right now (as you’ve probably guessed from the recent scarcity of posts).
In any case, Food First does it better than I could. Check out their website for analysis of what is going on. Raj Patel from Food First has a new book, and recently discussed the food crisis on Democracy Now. The transcript is worth checking out.
Please stay tuned. We’ll be posting more on this and other issues soon.
