STUFF AND STARVED:
AS FOOD RIOTS BREAK OUT
ACROSS THE GLOBE, RAJ PATEL DETAILD
"THE HIDDEN BATTLE FOR THE WHOLE FOOD SYSTEM"

Stuffed and Starved: As Food Riots Break Out Across the Globe,
Raj Patel Details “The Hidden Battle for the World Food System”
Global food prices have risen dramatically, adding a new level
of danger to the crisis of world hunger. In Africa, food riots
have swept across the continent, with recent protests
in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Mauritania
and Senegal. In most of West Africa, the price of food has risen
by 50 percent—in Sierra Leone, 300 percent.
In the United States there has been a 41 percent
surge in prices for wheat, corn, rice and other cereals
over the past six months. We speak with Raj Patel,
author of Stuffed and Starved:
The Hidden Battle for the World Food System.

Bust the trust to take back control of our food
Posted March 16th, 2010 by admin

http://www.bustthetrust.org

By Siena Chrisman, WhyHunger

There are 2 million farmers and 300 million consumers in the U.S. Standing in the middle are a handful of corporations who control just about everything that happens to our food between the farm and our plate ... how much it costs, how it's grown, where it comes from, what's in it, and who sells it. Most of what probably matters to you about why food isn’t healthier, safer, tastier, or all around better is affected by that narrow bottleneck of power standing between producers and consumers.
