The latest report from the UN Food and Agricultural Organization shows prices are back at 2008 levels, and have increased for five months in a row.
The data evaluates 55 different food commodities, so it's a pretty broad gauge of world costs.
Whether or not costs are high enough yet to lead to a world food crisis remains to be seen, but further inflationary pressures on emerging markets, where there are the most mouths to feed, will remain a threat.
