Base on this statement: We need more farmers, not economists, how can we face the problem of the rising of global food price?
What can we do other than producing more supply of food?

As in this case what i know is the demand for the food globally is rising and that is most probably why the price is rising.
So one way to do is to increase the supply of the food. But what else? (also please correct me if i wrong)

This is my microeconomies term paper and it is annoyingly hard for me as I m just newbie to economy.

I think of other solutions like setting ceiling price or apply technology in production of food but these methods are not related the the statement "We Need More Farmer, Not Economist" !

We do have Biotechnology to help increase crop yields nod.gif
Some say we have enough food for everyone, just that its not properly distributed, maybe due to greed and selfishness?
Anyway, there's always the misconception of farmer = low class/pay? From the way I see it, I might just end up being a farmer one day, and loving it laugh.gif
