"The food price index of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, based on export prices for 60 internationally traded foodstuffs, climbed 37 percent last year. That was on top of a 14 percent increase in 2006, and the trend has accelerated this winter."

That's from an article that begins a series in The New York Times: The Food Chain, The High Cost of Eating.

Homesteaders are in the right position. Order seeds. Preferably open- pollinated.
