Famine causes tied to money not food says World Bank chief
World Bank President A W Clausen says global food supply is ample but many poor nations lack purchasing power to buy it. He notes India and Sri Lanka illustrate price dynamics, with subsidies cut during hard times and undernourishment rising despite production gains. The report forecasts slow growth in purchasing power and rising poverty, especially in South Asia and sub Saharan Africa.
