At the global, regional and national levels, food supply can be affected by climate, disasters, war, civil unrest, population growth, lack of effective agricultural practices, and restrictions to trade, according to AusAID During 2008, the influential New Scientist magazine posed the question: "What do a student in New York, a farmer near Mexico City, a family in London and a nurse in Bangkok have in common?
