More demand for food will drive the price up making it more difficult for poor people to afford. Then again perhaps if the price was lower some people would stop producing food and the supply/demand balance would remain much the same.
I have a very poor understanding of the political problems that cause poverty in third world countries, does anyone know of a good book or website that I could read to get a better understanding?
Also what do the people here think we can do to help with the political problems?
