Millions of people across the world are facing hunger and starvation due to the current food crisis. According to experts, the crisis will continue as long as those who dominate the international grain markets remain unwilling to change their behavior.
As food supplies are diminishing, for instance, the government released measures to increase the use of biofuels — a policy that will further increase food prices.
Biofuels are taking food out of the mouths of starving people and diverting them to be burned as fuel in the car engines of the world’s rich consumers.
