The price of food

Available for over a year

Food price inflation may be easing but are governments doing enough to stop the return of high prices? Lesley Curwen talks to Dr. David Nabarro who is the UN Secretary General's Special Representative on Food Security and Nutrition, whose job it is to persuade ministers to take the problem seriously. Also on today's show, is the Olympus scandal Japan's Enron? Roland Buerk reports from Tokyo, and investment banker Yuuichiro Nakajima of Crimson Phoenix argues that the troubles of Olympus are a wake-up call for Japanese business.
