Biofuels behind food price hikes: leaked World Bank report LONDON (AFP) - Biofuels have caused world food prices to increase by 75 percent, according to the findings of an unpublished World Bank report published in The Guardian newspaper on Friday.   People:George W. Bush   Activities:Global Food Crisis   Source:(AFP)   2008-07-04 China faces serious challenges on grain supply: premier SHANGHAI (AFP) - China faces serious challenges in ensuring it will have enough grain to feed its population in the decades to come, with urbanisation and climate change two major problems, Premier Wen Jiabao said.   People:Wen Jiabao Hu Jintao   Activities:Global Food Crisis   Source:(AFP)   2008-07-03 America's Shrinking Food Wraps American supermarkets are epics of excess: it often seems like every item in the store comes in a "Jumbo" size or has "Bonus!" splashed across the label. But is it possible that the amount of food Americans are buying is, in fact... shrinking? Well, yes. Soaring commodity and fuel prices are driving up costs for manufacturers; faced with a choice between raising prices (which consumers would surely notice) or quietly putting fewer ounces in the bag, carton or cup (which they generally don't) manufacturers are choosing the latter. This month, Kellogg's started shipping Apple Jacks, Cocoa Krispies, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks containing an average of 2.4 fewer ounces per box.   Activities:Global Food Crisis   Source:(Time)   2008-06-30 Honey bee crisis could lead to higher food prices WASHINGTON - Food prices could rise even more unless the mysterious decline in honey bees is solved, farmers and businessmen told lawmakers Thursday.   Nations:U.S.   Activities:Global Food Crisis   Source:(AP)   2008-06-26 Bunge to buy Corn Products for $4.4 billion NEW YORK - U.S. fertilizer producer and oilseed processor Bunge Ltd (BG.N) has agreed to buy Corn Products International Inc (CPO.N) for $4.4 billion in stock, Bunge said on Monday.   Activities:Global Food Crisis   Source:(Wall Street Journal)   2008-06-23 Headlines Biofuels behind food price hikes: leaked World Bank report 2008-07-04 China faces serious challenges on grain supply: premier 2008-07-03 America's Shrinking Food Wraps 2008-06-30 Honey bee crisis could lead to higher food prices 2008-06-26 Bunge to buy Corn Products for $4.4 billion 2008-06-23 Record corn prices mean more expensive meat, dairy 2008-06-22 Everything seemingly is spinning out of control 2008-06-22 As food demand soars, S.
