Abstract

Responses given so far in the public policy debate to address the causes of agricultural price movements and their relevance for the debate on food security differ widely, centring around three fundamental policy problems that have emerged from the food security/price volatility debate. These attempt to merge often conflicting demands on issues related to (a) environmental/climate-related challenges and the private versus public good debate (initially mainly an EU issue, which is becoming more prevalent in other parts of the developed world), (b) the price interests of the rural versus urban poor (a developing world issue with conflicting policy implications), and (c) the gap between existing research, innovation and productivity priorities and future market and trade challenges (an issue for all, including the BRICs). In all three above areas, both macroeconomic and sector-specific causality has major policy implications.
