In 2009, food riots were part of a larger crisis that had its roots in the global food price spike of 2007-2008. During this time, a dramatic increase in the cost of basic food commodities like rice, wheat, and corn pushed millions of people into food insecurity and led to unrest in several countries. This spike was driven by various factors, including increased demand, climate-related events impacting crops, and rising oil prices, which made food production and transport more expensive. Additionally, some countries placed restrictions on food exports to secure their own supply, which further reduced global availability and drove up prices.

The unrest primarily occurred in parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For instance:

• Haiti: In early 2008, food price hikes led to protests and violent clashes, which contributed to the dismissal of the Prime Minister.
• Egypt: Rising bread prices sparked protests as people struggled to afford this staple food.
• Mozambique and Senegal: Both countries experienced riots due to the rising cost of essential food items.

These events underscored the interconnectedness of global food supply chains and raised concerns about food security in an increasingly globalized world.
