我們的全球糧食危機通過博客，圖像，錄像，畫廊和音頻報導在當前的糧食議題議論裡凸顯交互影響的大問題。

In Guatemala, she discovers how the system is failing poor people working in the agro industry, despite the country being a leading agro-exporter. She also looks at the impact of a changing climate on the country's smallholder farmers and how the drive for biofuels is pushing more people into poverty.
在瓜地馬拉，她發現貧困人民在此農業產業系統工作是失敗的，儘管該國家被稱為農業領先的出口國。她還著眼於氣候變化對該國小農的影響，和推動生質燃料讓更多人陷入貧困暴動。
She also reports on concerns over Chinese land acquisitions in Patagonia, Argentina, and the strain this could put on the region's water resources.
她還報告了擔憂中國在巴塔哥尼亞，阿根廷收購土地和壓力於此可能凸顯該地區的水資源議題。
Watch out for Lawrence's reports from Chicago, the heart of the global grain trade, looking at food speculation and regulation.
