An excellent article on food price volatility by one of my former students.
How imaginary demand has made food prices more volatile
It is only a coincidence that I am interviewed!

Pure coincidence, of course. There's an interesting article on China Dialogue about the crisis now too: http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/4195-Making-a-killing-on-food
They don't explain the distinction between earlier types of commodities futures trading and commodity index funds though, and I think the difference is important to understanding what's happening.
