Soaring food prices and falling supplies are not just an issue in Central America. Across the world, political leaders and aid groups are searching for solutions to what's being called a global food crisis. The small nation of East Timor is one of many developing countries that's switching from rice to a different crop to help them survive. Paul Allen reports for Al Jazeera.

  • that indonesian who's talking is my father

  • I think this program is crucial in order to respond for the world food crisis. We never know when this global famine would become more worse. Perhaps, ET government will take more serious action in order to anticipate the incoming global famine. It's for sure hard to shift our menu, however, better to have something rather than nothing. Hope that all Agriculture experts in Timor and farmers to work together in order to prepare ET to face this food crisis.. All the best to Seed for Life..

  • Yay for uncle rob!

  • Yeah, spuds are great! You'll have to run four months in to next year, to make up for what you've missed. Let's just hope next year it's something yucky, like the Year of Tripe, to allow you to miss the first four months.

  • It's the year of the potato and no one told me?! 4 months wasted!

  • Love Timor Leste.
