Food security: presentation to PM’s Strategy Unit

December 20, 2007 | by Alex Evans | More on Climate and resource scarcity | No comments

As promised a few weeks back, here’s the presentation on rising food prices that I gave the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit a couple of weeks ago. 

The Strategy Unit team working on food policy haven’t yet made any of their research public, but if / when they do, it will appear on the project web page here.  Although the SU is primarily looking at the issue from a UK perspective, my presentation leads on the international dimensions - in particular the drivers of rising food prices, and the implications internationally.  All comments very welcome…
