Y11 HW : Food Price Shocks and Poverty

Dear Year Eleven

Due : Thurs 8/3 - books in and both HWs marked.  I need to see your A-game!

These final topics are going to require you to use all of your business and economics knowledge.

1) Watch the video below
2) Use a flowchart / diagram to show the 4 reasons why there has been a rise in food prices, refering to supply and demand
3) at around 2m14s, 4 policies are outlined.  Pick one and explain how this would help protect the poor against food price shocks.  [criteria : 3 clear linkages ; use of key terms]
