Prices for staple foods including corn will more than double in two decades unless action is taken, Oxfam International said in a report.
Prices will increase by 120 percent to 180 percent by 2030, with as much as half the increase caused by climate change, Oxfam said. The world’s poorest people, who spend up to 80 percent of their income on food, will be hardest hit, it said.
