Global food prices sharply rebounded in July due to wild swings in weather conditions, a UN food and agricultural body has said.
The rise has fanned fresh fears of a repeat of the 2007-2008 food crisis which hurt the world’s poorest.
Untimely rains in Brazil, drought in the US and production difficulties in Russia drove the rally, said the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Good thing I have long gone back to Eden and a simple lifestyle. Food prices are already on the rise for the same old stuff that these stores have had on their shelves. With the severe droughts we’ve been having in the US it is no surprise. So many things depend on corn and by products of corn, items made from these will see the highest of prices. Dairy, meat, poultry and green produce will be hard hit.
