The Food and Agriculture Organization warns sharp rises in (serious) cereal prices had left 37 poor countries in an emergency situation. This has sparked food riots in many countries, including Cameroon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Senegal.
The meeting in Buren will also address the impact of climate change on food production and explore ways to help poor countries (to) adapt to these changes. The growing controversy (of) over bio-fuels is also on the agenda. Critics argue that the cultivation of crops for bio-fuels is taking good land away from food production and (costing) causing prices to rise. Some people are calling for a moratorium on the production of bio-fuels.
The (oil) U.N. meeting is expected to come up with the plan of emergency measures to solve the immediate global food crisis. Participants also will begin to address the longer term problems.
