Oxfam predicts climate change will help double food prices by 2030: “We are turning abundance into scarcity”

Food prices may jump by as much as 180% by 2030, driven by poor policies and a changing climate. Already, the FAO estimates 1 billion people are starving and another 2.5 billion are malnourished.
