Abstract

This chapter will contribute to the understanding of how this price spiral happened, which has quickly become one of the most analyzed period of food commodity price movements in history. As Timmer and Dawe (2010, 8) state: No lessons from the food crisis are of much relevance without understanding how this price spiral happened.
