This report evaluates the international policy responses to the food price crisis of 2007/2008. These measures aimed to prevent high food prices from transmitting from international to domestic markets, to maintain food supply using domestic production programs and to mitigate the impact of high prices on vulnerable citizens. This report analyses these responses in the form of a wide-ranging literature review covering 98 countries and in-depth case studies of the responses in Bangladesh, Nicaragua and Sierra Leone.
