Description

Rice is the main source of calories for half of the world’s population and the main source of
income for two billion people. But as of late 2007, increased farming for use in biofuels, world
oil prices at nearly $100 a barrel, global population growth, climate change, loss of agricultural
land to residential and industrial development, and growing consumer demand in China and
India have pushed up the price of grain. Food riots have recently taken place in many countries
across the world.
