国际粮价波动如何影响各国经济及粮食安全?
主要报告, 2011
《2011年世界粮食不安全状况》着重说明了2006-2008年世界粮食危机对不同国家的不同影响,最贫穷国家受影响最大。虽然一些大国有能力应对严重危机,但是依赖进口的许多小国的人民则经历了价格大幅上涨,而即使只是临时性价格上涨也会对他们将来收入能力和脱贫能力产生永久性影响。 今年这份报告注重粮价波动的代价以及高粮价所带来的危险与机遇。气候变化及天气冲击的频率增加,由于对生物燃料的需求增加而促使能源与农业市场之间联系增强,粮食和农业商品的金融化程度增加,所有这些都表明价格波动会普遍化。本报告说明了价格波动对粮食安全的影响,提出了以经济有效方式减少价格波动、当无法避免时予以控制的政策方案。
