ABSTRACT

The global food crisis of 2008 returned in 2010 with devastating impacts on the world’s poormost of whom are peasant farmers (Collier 2008; FAO 2011). Hunger resulted not from a lack of global food stocks but from food price ination (Bailey 2011; Brown 2011). Volatility and high food prices have led institutions in the corporate food regime to call for a 70% increase in food production by 2050 (Conforti 2010; FAO 2011).
