Today is St. Joseph's Day a special semi-holiday for Sicilians and it celebrates divine intervention of one of Sicily's famous droughts. Famine was not an unknown word for my ancestors and so we honor those harsh times by eating a meal made from pasta, wild fennel and fava beans -products that were once considered weeds and animal feed. So it is poignant for me to point out on this day that the world's rice supply cannot meet the demand, and the hungry cannot meet the price.You know the world is in trouble when there isn't enough rice to feed everyone. This article just adds to the mounting signs of trouble in the world now that rice - the staple that feeds more humans than anything else - has tripled in price in the last five years. Regardless of the reasons, be it climate change or just overpopulation, I don't know how we expect to feed a growing world on less and less arable land.
The ugly word recession has reared its head recently and now the world markets, especially the Asian markets are getting ready for a "Correction." Hey, you don't have to ask an economist about recession here in the United States , just ask a regular Middle-Class family who now is struggling to fill their gas tank, heat their home and feed themselves. All of these things and many more aspects of American Life have gotten much more expensive thanks to a weak dollar that nobody cares to correct.I'm so sick of hearing about the housing market slump - what about those of us that can't
This is not the first time I've posted on food shortages , and judging from this video it won't be my last either. In fact I've been ranting about this for a few years now and some agree, but some of my more affluent fellow Americans think it's not a big deal, or that I'm not shopping in the right place.Think back a couple of years - how much has your favorite pizza gone up in price? I know it has to be at least a dollar more, now that cheese has more than doubled since then. And how about if you want your pizza delivered? You don't think they've been adding a surcharge to compensate
There's crisis for food everywhere in the world. With growing population and more demand than supply there's a big shortage in supply of essential foods like rice and other.
the food crisis is pretty complicated. I have heard that there is actually a food surplus worldwide but developed nations like my US are eating much more than their fair share. However when rice becomes scarce for whatever reasons - things are going to get much worse.
Food is the most essential product we produce. Each country should produce enough food to feed it's population. Don't understand why aren't they doing it.
it's all about inflation in richer countries they will buy at any cost but in poor countries you have short supplies which leads to famine and starvation this problem is going to be a long term problem.
