Money spent on food

The 3 billion people living on $2 or less spend between 50 - 80% on food. Food prices have increased by 83% in just three years. Food riots in a dozen countries (also called Rebellion of the Hungry)

Population living on $1 or $2 per day

Approximately three billion living on less than $2 per day Of those, 1.3 billion people live on $1 or less per day

Egypt Thousands of demonstrators in Mahalla el-Kobra loot shops and throw bricks at police during protests at rising food prices and low salaries, as part of nationwide strike Haiti At least four people killed in the southern city of Les Cayes after food prices rise 50 per cent in the past year
Ivory Coast(Africa) Police injure more than ten protesters as several hundred demonstrators demand government action to curb food prices Cameroon Riots last four days and result in at least 40 deaths. Unrest is due to high fuel and food prices. Worst riots in country for 15 years

Rising food prices have sparked violent protests around the world. Five people were killed and hundreds injured during recent riots in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.

Food prices in Haiti are reported to have risen by 50 to 100 per cent in the last year, hitting the vast majority of the population -- who live on less than $2 a day -particularly hard.

Pakistani women buy subsidized flour in Lahore. The price of staple foods and fuel has risen drastically in the country in the last few months. Many people in Pakistan are now dependent on state subsidies.

In Manila, the capital of the Philippines, soldiers stand guard during the sale of government rice. With the price of rice soaring, the government is looking at ways to ensure none of its citizens starve.

Bangladesh: Food queues have become longer as prices have gone up. Fights over food frequently break out in the queues.

Causes of Global food crisis

Four key factors notably: Changing eating lifestyles in fast developing countries such as China and South America, Changing global climatic conditions, Global rise in fuel costs and Pursuit for biofuels based on food crops

we can have easily

But in the otherhand...

buy.

never waste my food no matter

how bad it can taste and how full I may be.

Think & look at this... when you complain about your food and the food we waste daily..."
