Could you please tell me where you sourced the information quoted below? Thank you. 
"The global crop of cereals last year was a record 1.66 billion tonnes, 5.5 per cent higher than in 2006. Instead, the rise in food prices has two main causes. The first reason is that demand for grains in China and other emerging economies has risen rapidly as a wealthier population starts to eat more meat, which requires more grain as animal feed. But that should cause a gradual rise, not sudden. It is much more true of China than of India, where demand for grain has been slower to rise."
