After a lull in public attention over the last couple of years, rising food prices are back in the spotlight.

A spike in prices triggered in part by the Russian export ban, and a deadly food riot in Mozambique have rekindled the debate on global food security. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) convened a special September 28 meeting on global grain prices, concluding that measures are needed to increase market information and transparency in agricultural trades. Olivier De Schutter, the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food, released a new report on the need to address speculation on commodity markets. He called for regulation and the establishment of food reserves, along with a renewed focus on agroecological methods to increase food production in developing countries.
