World food prices have hit an all-time high, driven up by price increases in wheat, corn, sugar, and oils. The price of wheat has doubled within a six-month period. While these soaring prices have had only a modest effect on U.S. inflation, they have devastated the world’s poor who spend a majority of their income on basic food staples.Politicians and scientists continue to argue over the cause of rising food prices. Some believe the jump in prices can be attributed to bad policies set by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and others believe that commodities speculation is to blame. But most scientists, including those from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, believe higher food prices were caused by two major factors: (1) low production due to severe weather around the world, including extreme heat in Russia, drought in Brazil, and flooding in Australia; and (2) a large portion of the world’s corn going toward ethanol production instead of food. Regardless, the world’s poor continue to suffer.Which of the following are plausible solutions to the given problem?Choose 3 answers Develop ways of growing crops indoors so weather will no longer be a factor.
