In just three years, the price of staple foods like wheat, corn and rice has almost doubled, and this week, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said that if left unchecked, global food shortages could set the world back seven years in the fight against extreme poverty and global disease.

Please build on your recent commitment by taking immediate action. To sign the ONE Campaign petition, click here.
