Planning for Food Security 1 - Bruce Darrell

Planning For Food Security - Reasons for the Current Crisis.

A segment of a presentation given by Bruce Darrell as part of the Feasta 2008 Seminar Series: Converging Crises, Policy Responses.

Global food price inflation has been driven by declining yields, commodity markets, the rush to biofuels, increased production costs and greater consumption of meat. Many producing nations are restraining exports, reducing the availability of food on the global market. Achieving a secure food supply globally and nationally is a major task which demands a transformation of our food supply systems.
