520    In recent years, food prices have soared--and plummeted. 
       As crops are increasingly shifted to biofuel production, 
       will prices soar again? What are the hidden relationships 
       between the food on your plate and the gas in your car? 
       Will economic recovery lead directly to massive inflation 
       in both food and energy? What do food prices have to do 
       with world hunger? Now, one of the world's leading experts
       untangles the complex global relationships between food, 
       energy, and economics and helps readers draw their own 
       intelligent conclusions about the future of food. Patrick 
       Westhoff discusses the factors that drive food pricing: 
       not just biofuels but also weather, income growth, 
       exchange rates, energy prices, government policies, market
       speculation, and more. Next, he walks through several 
       scenarios for the future, offering indispensable insights 
       for consumers, commodity traders, and policymakers alike.
