The Era of Cheap Food Is Coming To an End

There are just under 7 billion people on the planet today. According to the UN, there will be more than 9 billion people by 2050. That's over 2 billion more mouths to feed than in 2010. Meanwhile, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization forecasts that world demand for agricultural commodities will jump by 60% over the next 20 years. As food prices rise...so too will the share prices of the world's top food producing companies.
