The United Nations and the Government of Haiti both issued warnings last week about a pending food crisis in rural Haiti.

The U.N. number is 1.5 million, while the Haitian Government indicated 1.3 million people — mostly farmers and their families — are at risk of serious malnutrition because of crop losses due to last year’s record-breaking storm season.

Please check out my first Huffington Post Canada blog in which I argue that there are four main issues that have led to this looming tragedy. I also suggest that the Smallholder Farmers Alliance is at least one way to combat the situation.
