Excellent interactive graphic by Oxfam which shows how poor communities across the world are being hurt by volatile food prices, which have been hovering near an all-time peak since late 2010.
It attributes the price rises to failed crops (due to climate change), rising cost of oil (used to grow, fertilize and transport food), short-sighted biofuels strategies, and dysfunctional commodities markets.
