LONDON - Ration cards. Genetically modified crops. The end of pile-it-high, sell-it-cheap supermarkets.


These possible solutions to the first global food crisis since World War II — which the World Food Program says already threatens

20 million of the poorest children — are complex and controversial.

And they may not even solve the problem as demand continues to soar.

A "silent tsunami" of hunger is sweeping the world's most desperate nations, said Josette Sheeran, the WFP's executive director, speaking Tuesday at a London summit on the crisis.
