The Takeaway explores the impacts of rising food prices on the nation
May 05, 2008, 09:32 AM
Global food prices have risen dramatically in the past year — 57 percent, according to the United Nations' Food Price Index. That's particularly troubling for the global poor, who already spend most of their income on food. That may be hard for Americans to contemplate, but the same food pressures are being felt here, and the evidence is the price of your favorite foods in the grocery store aisles. The Takeaway talks with a dairy farmer in New Hampshire, a trucker in South Dakota, a pastry store owner in New York, and a Department of Agriculture economist.
The show is a co-production of WNYC Radio and Public Radio International,
in collaboration with The BBC World Service, New York Times Radio and WGBH Boston.
