This is a good opportunity it scrap all subsidies to farmers in the developed world especially where they take the form of price supports as in the European Union. I doubt it will happen. It's subsidising farmers that spawned these idiotic biofuels programs in the first place.

I doubt it will happen though.

I'm hearing a lot about Americans complaining about rising food prices too. That's one thing I haven't noticed here in Australia so far - though we try to avoid regular supermarkets as much as possible - housing is expensive and petrol is expensive - they're the two prominent issues in the media.

It was never cheap enough for 100s of millions in China, India, and Africa.
