Israeli farmers harvest their wheat crop on April 30, 2008 in the fields near Kibbutz Be�eri, on the border with Gaza Strip in southern Israel under heavy army protection (unseen). Israeli farmers are expanding the area of wheat cultivation, right up to the border fence with the Hamas-controlled territory. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on 29 April ordered a top level task force to take on the global crisis caused by rising food prices and urged key producer nations to end export bans. Rising populations, strong demand from developing countries, increased cultivation of crops for biofuels and increasing floods and droughts have sent food prices soaring across the globe.

  • LONDON - APRIL 15: Environmental protestor's placards lampoon Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly and Prime Minister Gordon Brown outside the Department of Transport on April 15, 2008 in London. Phil Thornhill of Campaign against Climate Change and Andrew Boswell of Biofuelwatch, in a joint statement, said "The RTFO or 'Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation' will mandate 2.5percent biofuels at British fuel pumps from April 15th, and thereby hugely increase UK consumption of biofuels. The government is demonstrating a perverse obstinacy in ploughing ahead with this despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that far from helping in the struggle to control climate change, biofuels will accelerate climate change, and are a major cause of an emerging global food crisis that is creating starvation and food riots in several countries."

  • Filipino farmer Gamaliel Pagharion inspects his rice farm after it was damaged by flood and pests, a recipe for a failed harvest in Pigcawayan the rice producing town of North Cotabato province in southern Mindanao island on May 9, 2008.

The shift to biofuels productions or other land use, trade restrictions, increased demand from Asia, poor harvests due to calamities and pests and higher transport costs have all been blamed for the price rises to near-record levels in recent months.

The new Starbucks logo is pictured on a coffee cup May 16, 2008 in Washington, DC. A Christian group based in San Diego, California calling itself The Resistance says in a press release the new image has a naked woman on it with her legs "spead like a prositiute. .. and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks," is calling for a national boycott of the coffee-selling giant. The logo, similar to one the coffee chain used during its early days in the 1970s -- and which Starbucks maintains is not inappropriate -- is based on a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed mermaid.
