World leaders must act now

For poor people, who typically spend 50-80 per cent of their income on food, high prices are spelling disaster.

We've already seen food riots in Mexico, Egypt, Tanzania and Senegal - and they're not alone.

Oxfam has joined Avaaz and GCAP in calling for world leaders to take emergency action, and make longer-term reforms, to end this crisis.

Add your name by signing the petition, and join the call for governments to prevent the world's most vulnerable people from further suffering.
