40 countries face food shortage worldwide

The article I read today informed me about the places that are at serious risk of running low on food. Like for example Australia, Argentina and Brazil are highly being affected because the dry weather is affecting the wheat crops. But food is not the only problem. If the countries run low on food the stocks go down and it affects everyone involved in the stocks. The following is a list found in (http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000416/index.html) of countries facing a food crisis.
