Stop the global food crisis

The following comes from Oxfam:

Global food prices are soaring and are now at record levels. And the world's poorest people are suffering the most. Use your voice here to help make a difference.

For poor people, who typically spend 50-80 per cent of their income on food, spiralling prices are spelling disaster as basic foods become increasingly unaffordable.

We've already seen food riots in Mexico, Egypt, Tanzania and Senegal - and they're not alone.
Oxfam has joined Avaaz and GCAP in calling for world leaders to take emergency action, and make longer-term reforms, to end this crisis.

Add your name by signing the petition, and join the call for governments to prevent the world’s most vulnerable people from further suffering.
