| Résumé : |
All countries, rich and poor, are currently groaning under the weight of high food prices. Not only are households forced to turn to cheaper, less healthy food; the poorest in society face a truly existential threat: the number of people starving in the world started to rise again in 2020. Some high prices are only indirectly due to food shortages; the major drivers are food speculation and high fossil fuel prices. Solutions are needed for this. After around two years of coronavirus pandemic, the monthly food price index published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) showed a year-on-year surge of more than 30% at the end of 2021. This came after nearly ten years of relatively stable prices. The FAO index is based on the international prices of meat, dairy, cereals, sugar and vegetable oils. While rice and sugar prices showed only a moderate rise, the price of vegetable oils doubled. |
