It's said that bad things come in three's, so pessimists at least won't be surprised to hear that after the global financial and economic crises, the next storm on the horizon is the global food crisis. (..) "The food crisis is not over," said the UN World Food Programme's executive director, Josette Sheeran. "We have an anomaly happening where on global, big markets, the prices are down, but for 80% of commodities in the developing world, prices are higher today than they were a year ago, and the prices a year ago were double what they were the year before that. What it means is for about 80% of the developing world, people can afford one third as much food today as they could two or three years ago."
