The Global Impact of Rising Food Prices

Listen Thursday, Apr. 10, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics, Society

It's a crisis linking nations as disparate as Haiti, Uzbekistan and the U.S. Double-digit increases in prices for bread, milk and other basic commodities are leading to bulging grocery budgets across our region and violent protests in many parts of the developing world. Kojo looks at the global factors driving up prices, and whether any relief is in sight.
