World Hunger, Monsanto Profits
The World Bank says that 100 million more people are facing severe hunger. Yet some of the world's richest food companies are making record profits.
Monsanto last month reported that its net income for the three months up to the end of February this year had more than doubled over the same period in 2007, from $543m (£275m) to $1.12bn. Its profits increased from $1.44bn to $2.22bn.
