    In the context of the 2007-08 rise in world food prices, this book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring prices in the case of rice, the world’s most important source of calories for the poor. Case studies of policy reactions in different countries provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future.
