> serious matter for the world's poor who spend more than 50% of their  
> incomes on food. Focusing on the features of the world economy that  
> make the business of food more and more like a global gambling  
> casino, Professor Jennifer Clapp will give an overview of the causes  
> and possible solutions to the problem of rising global food prices.   
> This event is part of the Waterloo Region Food System Roundtable's
