Farm to Table...

The food crisis hit hard this month. The price of wheat and rice has doubled; corn is up by one-third, in some areas, according to the U.N. In some areas, the price of food has increased by 80 percent. People have died in riots in Egypt and Haiti. And it’s all predicted to get worse.

To show us what this really looks like, Newsweek Magazine posted a slide show with photos from a protest in India, a devastating harvest in Zimbabwe, and images of all the ways people are searching to meet their basic need for food or are fighting back against a global food market that isn’t working for them. View the slideshow HERE.
