Food crisis may not be the ' forgotten crisis ' The worldwide effort to tame the financial crisis raging intense "transcend" the interest of the international community should set aside for the food crisis, which is a global threat. Analysts said that the food crisis remains a popular resolution when the large agricultural producers within the vortex of the financial crisis and in the future, the issue of food security will remain difficult problem to solve. The main cause of the food crisis, according to the latest report on "Food Outlook" of the Organization of the UN (FAO)-agricultural Wages, soaring food prices from 2005 to 2007 had pushed 75 million people into hunger, raising the total number of nutritional deficiency worldwide over 923 million people. Mr. Phang Cheng (Fang Cheng), Senior Economist of FAO stated that in addition to the traditional factors affecting food security as the world population increases, lack of arable land and water resources, non-traditional elements such as the development of biofuels and climate change are also the cause of no small impact on the global food situation. Mr. Phang Cheng said climate change was causing great damage to the farming, aquaculture, seafood and particularly significant impact on the living conditions of the people in the rural areas, which have influenced more from the world economic crisis. Meanwhile, the development of biofuels from crops are increasingly reducing the sources of food supply. The production of biofuels has increased more than tripled from 2000 to 2007 and the demand for sugarcane, maize, oil seed crops and raw materials for the production of biofuels is expected to continue to increase in the next 10 years. This is considered the leading cause affecting food prices in the future. The Director General of the FAO Vision-Go-inverted (Jacques Diouf) warned that the development of biofuels threatens will alter the role of agricultural land. He called on the countries involved in the world to consider the issue of food security in the country's policymakers. The financial crisis as exacerbating the food crisis of the global financial crisis is taking place can be greater impact for food security and agricultural market in terms of both production and consumption. According to the warning of the Intergovernmental Committee Secretary in charge of FAO's food problem, Mr Pressure-London-d-da-ba-please (Abdolreza Abbassian), the world food market in the coming years will still have a lot of instability due to the current credit crisis is concentrated in the major food production areas such as the United States of America , Europe and Brazil. In addition, the financial upheaval is also more impact to your purchase. Many people are turning to the kind of cheap and inferior food more nutritious, this can lead to the condition of the malnutrition, especially in poor countries. The money financed the 20 billion dollars that rich countries pledged at the Food Summit FAO meeting in Rome (I-ta-li-a), six to help countries most severe food shortages, just enough to settle temporarily for about 1/4 (nearly 200 million people) who lack the hunger in the world. Not to mention, the rich countries could also "forget" the commitment they give if the world financial crisis lasts. The solution to the problem of world agriculture is necessary the main mission of the major agricultural countries in the world now have to double food output by 2050, can "feed" is a planet with a population of some 9 billion people. Mr. Jack-Take-over had proposed the Organization of a Food Summit in the first half of 2009 in order to map out a new agricultural plan and seeking aid to about 30 billion dollars a year to pay global famine. Speaking at the special session of the Board including the 191 Member countries of FAO, he said that the Organization of the inverted-a Food Summit is essential because after more than 60 years of operation (since the FAO established), the need to create a new system for global food security./.
