With
prices of corn, wheat, soybean and other staples steadily rising, all three
United Nations food agencies have this week issued a joint appeal calling for prompt action to avert a
major global food crisis.
The
heads of the World Food Program (WFP), Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and
International Fund for Agriculture Development warned in a statement that the
sharp rise in food prices in recent months threatens to make life even more
difficult for tens of millions of people in both less developed and Western
countries.
