Global Food Crisis: Gulf Arabs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been buying farmland in Pakistan as part of plans to increase food security and to reduce inflation. Meanwhile, Germany has called for China, India and the US to be forced to adopt higher environmental and health standards if they want to export food products to the European Union even though EU poultry producers are using a banned chlorine-washing process on exported chicken.
