Yeah some of the raises in food prices has been directly linked to certain grains have been used for other purposes than making food sources for people such as feed and making of fuels alternatives. There is also in some place this return to organic production that has also raised prices too.
Like has been pointed out lot of the problem too is also the lack of efficient transportation of the food and making sure the people who are needing it get the food, instead of people who are looking to make profit off it and don't mind if it goes to waste. If you think how much food many food establishment waste regardless if they are for profit, non-profit, governmental throw out on the daily basis too doesn't help.
If their are any riot it will be due to the piss pour distribution set up that we know of today.
