One of the best things living in Hawaii is the culture. People naturally bind together by giving out something for the needy community who need a helping a hand. Today is a special day because the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food drive- a national project sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers is here again. In connection with the Food Drive, we are doing our part as members of the community by helping those who are in need in our own little way, donating some of our non-perishable foods. These foods get delivered to the Hawaii Foodbank and into the needy community cupboards that needed them the most and put to good use. We are fortunate through our donations and other people’s donations will mean someone; they won’t have to go to bed hungry.

For years, food policy in the Middle East and North Africa was very simple: hydrocarbon exports paid for carbohydrate imports.Rising agricultural commodities prices and a large population increase mean that the traditional policy is now untenable even if crude oil trades at about $120 a barrel, forcing countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, to reconsider how it feeds its population.“The region has woken up to the new food market reality,” says Abdolreza Abbassian, an expert at the Food and Agriculture Organisation in Rome.The FAO estimates the region’s cereals import bill will hit $22.6bn this year (£11.4bn, €14.5bn), a 40 per cent increase on 2007. Since 2000, it has jumped almost 170 per cent. The rising bill is the latest signal of the looming food crisis hanging over

The price of scrap iron has been soaring, turning the once humble material into a treasured and protected commodity. The international price of scrap iron rose by 36 percent last year, and in just the first four months of this year it has leaped by 73 percent. Over the past three years the price has increased 2.5 times. The skyrocketing price is the result of surging demand for less costly metal in the wake of price hikes for iron ore. Another reason is the growing use of scrap by steelmakers in Europe and Japan looking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as scrap emits much less carbon dioxide than iron ore when making steel. With prices rising, "resource nationalism" is kicking in, with Russia and Taiwan imposing controls on scrap exports. Meanwhile countries around the world

From Axis of Logic : In a broadcast interview with Daniel Mermet on French radio*, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler, stated that the current world food crisis is not due to nature, but to man. Introduction to the interview from the web site of 'Là-bas si j'y suis'*: "A return with Jean Ziegler to the causes for food riots that are appearing all over the world. Far from being a scourge like a drought or an invasion of locusts, there are people who are responsible for the famines that have struck thousands of men, women and children – the speculators and their logic of maximizing profit."  The rest of this article on the issue of world hunger is largely based on the interview with Jean Ziegler – "La faim du monde".

"I went to another supermarket, and then another, and there was no butter at those either. Everywhere I went there were notices saying Japan has run out of butter. I couldn't believe it — this is the first time in my life I've wanted to try baking cakes and I can't get any butter," said the frustrated cook. Japan's acute butter shortage, which has confounded bakeries, restaurants and now families across the country, is the latest unforeseen result of the global agricultural commodities crisis. A sharp increase in the cost of imported cattle feed and a decline in milk imports, both of which are typically provided in large part by Australia, have prevented dairy farmers from keeping pace with demand. While soaring food prices have triggered rioting among the starving millions of
