The world's poor are the har dest hit. Rapidly rising food\nprices in a very short time period have led to riots in several\ncountries. The crisis is wiping out recent gains in poverty\nreduction in several regions. Over 800 million people go hungry i n\nthe developing world\, and the crisis could force as many as 100\nmilli on people deeper into poverty. Sharply increasing fuel prices\,\nlow grain reserves\, droughts\, increasing demand for meat products\nin emerging na tions\, and use of food-producing lands for biofuel\nproduction are making it harder to predict an end to the\ncrisis.\n DTSTART:20080924T210000Z DTEND:20080926T190000Z SUMMARY:91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Conference on Global Food Security URL:/channels/event/mcgill-conference-global-food-secu rity-100827 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
