This article I read is talking about how food prices are going up and will probably stay up until the year 2010. The rice prices have gone up and is estimated that it's raised about two and a half times nore then in January 2007. I also read that rich people spend about 10-20% of their money on food, while people in the less fortunate world spend from 60-80 of their money on food. The people in Africa have sold their tools, animals, and sheets of tin. I also read that nearly half of the earths potential agricultural land is beings unused. This article relates to the food shortage that's taking place all around the world mainly in the more poor countries. IT's giving probabilities of when it might be over too. I hope that all the more rich countries can get together and help fight this problem effecting the whole world.
