...Europe of subsidizing the diversion of food crops to produce biofuels like corn-based ethanol.

The fourth is the growing global demand for food and feed grains brought on by swelling populations and incomes. In short, rising demand has hit a limited supply, with the poor taking the hardest blow...

Add to that a few short-term weather shocks, like drought in Australia, and emergency stores get depleted leaving prices to skyrocket. Fearful of food shortages, some large producer nations, including India, Vietnam and Kazakhstan, have limited exports. That can keep prices lower at home, but drives...
