    Food for 9 Billion

    In Egypt, Food for a Revolution

    Anger over food prices helped contribute to the toppling of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Through the story of one migrant family, we explore how displaced farmers, angry about agricultural policies that favor “crony capitalists,” now struggle to put food on the table.

    This story was produced by The Center for Investigative Reporting.
