UN World Food Security Committee Meets

The United Nations Committee on World Food Security opened its new session in Rome, a day after observing the World Food Day under the theme ‘Food Prices – from Crisis to Stability’.

Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) goodwill ambassador and actor, Jeremy Lyons, points out that, “In our world, billions of dollars are spent on aid and investment. Billions of words are spoken, written, promising change and a billion people still go hungry every day.”

Lyons questions whether it’s a matter of money or the way aid money is spent, adding that he wonders whether a whole new approach to combating hunger is needed.
