title = "Price and prejudice: Why are food prices so high?",
abstract = "Recent high food prices can be explained by tightening world markets. On the one hand, demand for food continues to increase with a growing and richer world population. Demand for biofuels has added to that demand. On the other hand, there have been several weather-induced supply shocks: drought and flooding, in a time when stocks were low. Three additional factors pushed up prices even more: - export bans were imposed by several countries; - the US exchange rate was weak; - oil prices were high.",
