Oxfam says that ‘food prices will double by 2030’, but why?

I would highly recommend that you take a look at this article on the BBC website if you are looking at - the basic economic problem, scarcity, market failure, government intervention, inequality and globalisation. So many great economic themes that can be used for discussion and analysis in the classroom contained in one article.
