The Global Agricultural Boom: No Bubbles Here

Not in the AG = Bubble camp, but always good to be skeptical.
So, did people start eating more in the last 2 years ?

Apetite does NOT increase, though taste may change as a result of increased wealth (India, China). I remember just a year ago Farmers doing suicide in India 'coz they could NOT survive (get good price for there crops).
Can somebody explain why the Demand for Food (a perishable commodity) has suddenly increased ?
