What I saw in TV a week or two weeks ago when some 8 peoople have died in Kenya while striking aginst food price rise is shocking. There was also a similar demonstration in Indonesia. Theses seem to imply similar social instabilty will tend to mount and hence uprisings and demonstrations are enevitable in the near future, particularly in developing countries where the marginal proponsity to save is very low. Furthermore, I wish I had details of reports presented in the summit and comment on some of the causes for global food short, other than the known reasons such as poor population policy and environmental degredation that lead to fast population increse and rainfall variablty respectively, that fule or trigger the recent sky rockating rise of food price. Regardless of what the reasons might be global integration and collaboration to boost food crop production through increased productivity, particularly in developing countries should be the main feasible short term strategy, I would be greatful to anyone who forward or share me research output,reportes and comments regarding this issue. The wesite above belongs to the university I am working at present. Anyone interested can browse the website and get my position in the university Thank you I appreciate the comment by Sam Worthington on the FAO emergency summit.
