The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price iricrcases. combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or S10 billion altogether.
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods — tree crops, grasses and wood products — but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.
Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond — which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather — can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.

和楼上的不太一样，我没太查词，自己就理解成这样了，供您参考。眼睛好痛哦，累，嘿嘿！

世界经济已经濒临脆弱。尽管近年来，在贫穷国家出现的饥饿危机和全球的能源危机等现象已对人类做出警告，但是人类还是没有提前作好准备。导致目前出现食物危机。谷类、玉米和水稻在过去的两年时间里价格已经翻了两番。并且自2004年起，世界原油价格也已经翻了三倍。食物价格危机连同能源危机将会减慢或抑制世界经济的增长，甚至会影响到政治稳定问题。现在我们已经开始采取行动，但是更需要做的是提前想到并付诸行动。
对于目前的食物危机和可能引发的全球危机分以下三步解决措施：第一，借助非洲国家马拉维的成功案例。三年前马拉维建立的专项基金用于免费提供给农民肥料和种子，仅一年时间马拉维的收成翻了一番。建立马拉维模式的国际基金每年每人要花费大约10美元，累计大约100亿美元。
第二，美国和欧洲国家应该废弃食物转化生物燃料的部分征税政策。美国出台的规定有由玉米转化的每加仑乙醇需付给农民51美分的税。那就可能出现原本该做为生产食物的木做物、草和树木都用于生物燃料上。但是我们总不可能用燃气罐替代食物吧。
第三，我们急需能抵制恶劣天气的作物。其实对于一个穷困的农民来说，事情往往很简单，他只需一个池塘用来雨天积攒雨水可以在旱天来灌溉，这就是丰收与歉收的区别。目前世界已拟定“气候适应”政策，帮助贫困的环境恶劣地区缓解经济，例如，食物生产和健康护理等，但是目前还未按承诺实施。
