Le Monde: Has the situation improved since the “hunger riots” of 2008?
Olivier de Schutter: No. All the conditions for a new food crisis within a year or two are assembled. The question is not whether it will take place, but when.

Only a single spark would be enough to relaunch the increase in prices. We have not learned our lessons from the last crisis.

This is more evidence that a worldwide food crisis is coming. Heed the warnings.
