Table 1. World Cereal production , 2000-2007 (million tones) . Figure 2. Agricultural production by country and region, % of total Source: FAO 2008a. Note: W. Europe includes Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Agriculture policy is today increasingly made outside of the domain of agriculture, and often as an offshoot of energy or infrastructure policy. While the U.S. farm bill includes some biofuel support programs, for example, most government support for biodiesel production is outlined in the energy bill and entails large subsidies. Developing countries are unable to provide agricultural support on such a scale, and especially not in new markets such as for bio-fuels and for CO2 sequestration. The global power system of agriculture now consists of a conglomerate of different players. The playing field includes new actors, such as energy and retail market players, and traditional ones, such as the input industries and food processors. However, global agriculture issues currently have only a limited decision making architecture relating to public goods such as water, climate, and food safety. What is missing is a recognized governance platform that addresses the growth opportunities and sustainability threats on a global scale. The current state of multiple agricultural agendas is risky and leads to serious lack of attention to the management of and investment in agriculture-related global public policy issues. This lack of a coordinated global response is visible in the field of agriculture-energy policies, climate change mitigation and adaptation policies for agriculture, food aid policies, and agriculturehealth and food safety policies. It also is evident in the lack of a coordinated response to rising world food prices. www.theinternationaljournal.org > RJEBS: Volume: 02, Number: 06, April-2013 Page 30
Table 2. Change in food-consumption quantity, ratios 2005/1990 Rising food prices Surging food and oil prices have turned the attention of policymakers and the public to the world food equation and food–energy price linkages. Between 2000 and 2008, the prices of wheat and petroleum in dollar terms increased more than threefold, while the prices of corn and rice more than doubled (Figure 3). When adjusted for inflation or reported in euros, the price increases are smaller, but also drastic. Figure 3. Commodity prices (US$/ton), January 2000–January 2008 Sources: Data from FAO 2008b and IMF 2008. The major drivers of increases in cereal prices have been the high demand for food (and feed) due to income growth (and less so due to population growth), high demand for biofuels, and slow production responses to that rising demand. Between 2000 and 2006, cereal supply increased by mere 8 percent and stocks declined to low levels (von Braun 2007). A rise in cereal prices has uneven impacts across countries and population groups. Households that are net buyers of food, which represent the large majority of the world’s poor, are negatively impacted (von Braun 2007). It is largely the poor who respond to food prices with reduced consumption and changed patterns of demand, leading to calorie and nutrition deficiencies. Since food accounts for a large share of their total expenditures, the impact on the poor can be dramatic. Faced with higher prices, the poor switch to foods with lower nutritional value and to foods lacking important micronutrients. www.theinternationaljournal.org > RJEBS: Volume: 02, Number: 06, April-2013 Page 31
