Congress weighs response to global food crisis (National Journal) 

National Journal published an article on how policy advocates and experts want Congress to provide additional dollars to address the crisis, including through the U.N.’s World Food Programme, which works to deliver food in regions experiencing conflict and disasters. Prices have gone up globally and that will hit African countries hard because of their high import costs and the high proportion of household income that goes to purchasing food. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber said, “While wheat prices are rising globally, countries that rely on importing wheat directly from Ukraine will additionally have to look for new suppliers.”
