More and more media outlets are reporting on the food crisis, but few countries have a comprehensive analysis. Stratfor has published a map on the global food crisis identifying the causes of the food crisis worldwide.

What’s more, stratfor takes notes in an article published last month that 2008 actually looks to be a good year for food prices under ordinary circumstances because a good harvest season is expected. However, as fuel prices are expected to rise, along with increasing demand, inevitably a poor harvest season will mean critically high food prices in years to come. Stratfor also has a podcast on the topic here covering the winners and losers.

More on this topic to come over the next few days. Watch this space.
