Less food means more turmoil

-Rising costs of food items is causing worldwide poverty which, in turn, threatens the livelihood of food programs.

People are going into poverty because of sharply rising food prices, according to http://www.readexpress.com/.

The issue of food prices threatens U.N.-backed food programs for children, top U.N. officials said.
Costs for basic food supplies has risen in recent months in part because of rising costs in fuel prices and the demand for biofuel production.
"This is the new face of hunger- the millions of people who were not in the urgent hunger category six months ago but now are," Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Program, said.
Should rising prices continue, rioting could increase worldwide, analysts say.
