17 Recent increases in food prices have exposed the fragility of the current food system (s) and have shown that there is a real risk of food insuficiency. There is a new concern related to the levels of poverty (100 million new poor) There is real risk of social and political innestability. We were not prepared for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18 What to produce? What is the economic model that need to be implemented?
19 Institutional Changes (Br, Ur, CAC) Short term policies directed to reduce the impacts of food price increses improving food availability to most needed sectors.
