One of the main global issues we have today is Food Crisis. Food prices has risen in price in the past years. But in other countries, this has caused riots and in some cases, like in Haiti, food has risen to 50-100%. Food such as corn, wheat, rice, and soya, have risen a lot in just one year. From 2007 to 2008, corn has gone up 31%, rice 74%, soya 87%, and wheat 130%. But this did not happen over night, it has been dramatically changing since 2000, but no one seemed to notice it that much. When their seems to be a food crisis, we seem to ignore it, but there will be a time when the staggering prices are so high, that people are going to start revolting and causing a lot of deaths.
