The report shows that Cargill and Oxfam share the same fundamental objective: finding solutions to feeding a world that is on its way to 9 billion people. Higher agricultural commodity prices, driven by a severe drought in the United States, have rekindled concerns about a potential food crisis. Despite current weather-related challenges, Cargill continues to believe that sufficient supplies exist to feed the world. But when the weather does not cooperate, it becomes even more important that we honor comparative advantage, enable open markets, support smallholder farmers, foster cooperation between public and private sectors, encourage agricultural investment, and reform biofuel mandates. We look forward to continuing our discussions with Oxfam on all of these topics that affect food supplies
