Since in some places in the third world prices have risen 80% this is very serious for those already starving displaced people in Somalia and throughout the third world. Also, because food reserves are at their lowest in 30 years worldwide prices likely will continue to rise. I believe, whether it is reported or not, the beginning worldwide recession will create more people dying of starvation on earth than ever before in recorded history. The problem is that with food reserves so short only the richest nations will weather this food storm well. The likely result will be many individuals and groups and nations fighting over food in multiple ways just to survive the next few years.
