Time to Attack Hunger's Roots

As 115 million more people have been driven into poverty and hunger by rising food prices over the past three years, top UN officials are demanding a new global system to ensure that people across the world have enough to eat. Half of the 10 million people who die of hunger each year are children.
What's the Story? "Now is the time for action. The food crisis has taught us that to defeat hunger, we have to deal with its root causes and not to continue coping with the consequences of past mistakes," said Jacques Diouf, director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), speaking at an international conference on food security.
