The Economist's food-price index is now at its highest since it began in 1845, having risen by one-third in the past year.

I have satellite TV and access to local weather conditions worldwide which is also available on the web if you lOOk.
More people+higher quality of food+grain for fuel+shifting rain patterns +higher land prices+salt water intrusion into groundwater can easily explain the trend.

The shifting rain link may go forward to Index by default, just hit the back button. wink.gif
