Is the worldwide food crisis real, or is it just the media...

I don't know it it's food crisis or rice shortage we had. I saw people lining up the stores to buy NFA just because it's much cheaper than commercial rice. The price soars to high heavens but there are still rice, no shortage at all. The shortage is all in the sick mind of those up there to cover up big issues - you know what i mean, don't you? My mother in law in the province worried about her grandchildren here after she saw the news on rice shortage and lo! and behold! she send us a cavan of rice, and more to follow. They have so much harvest there and she can't understand that shortage in tv neither do i.

I believe there is really no shortage, it's just the way of the government to steer away from the real problem. Look at what happened, no more news about Lozada.

there are no food crises and believe in it, it is just a chaotic way of diverting issues that somehow people would be afraid of the situation and focus on survival rather than on political issues related to the president. this is an age old formula in every government.

Hello,inday312! The world is now experiencing shortage of food grains and the worst hit are the poor and the middle class people.the agricultural productions have slowed down since 2005 and for this we are responsible.we have diverted most of our agricultural lands for nonagricultural use,some for big industries and some for irrigation projects and others for habitations.besides,we have reduced the size of the forests to hardly 25% of the geographical area,for which the climate of the world has changed and has affected the productivity.on the other hand the population is in the increasing trend.so the shortage of food stuff all over the world.if the process continues unabated within 2050 the world would experience severe food crisis and there will be famines in some countries even.so it is the duty of the policy makers and the scientists to work out plans for feeding the teeming millions or there will be civil wars all over the world.thank you.

i really think there is a crisis on food.. but there is no real food shortage.. what we have is mismanagement of food.. there are food going to waste because of high commdity prices for transport, etc... but then in time, we will have a real crisis if you don't start managing our resources...

i guess, there is really a worldwide food crisis. we all hear it from the news, every where. here in the philippines, it is not that bad, with regards to rice supply. we have the production. i guess the government is really, really just trying to cover-up some thing...

Inday it is for real....all agricultural producers are changing to ETHANOl...and that is obtained from grains...prices are attractive...people hunger will be for real

No the inflation is high at the moment......its really in a food crisis
