A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

Rising food prices… sky-rocketing transportation costs… escalating populations of the hungry… There is a perfect storm of trouble blowing along the food chain, which leads one to ask: How will we feed the world’s hungry?

This Saturday at 9am Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts
Jennifer Parmelee from the United Nation’s World Food Programme for a conversation about feeding the hungry.

Log on www.metrofarm.com to listen on your radio, computer or IPOD.

Topics include why the need for food aid continues to escalate in spite of all that is done to end that need; what impact price increases have on the agencies that feed the hungry; and what, if anything, can be done to end hunger.

Question of the Week: Given the costs, how can we feed the world’s hungry?
