Pope Benedict: World Has Enough Food for All Inhabitants

(17 Nov 09 - RV) “A recipe for prolonged global hunger”, that is how catholic aid agencies have greeted news that world leaders attending the UN’s Food Security Summit in Rome, have rejected a UN call to commit 44 billion dollars annually for agricultural development in poor nations.


Pope Benedict XVI travelled south of the Tiber to participate in the opening session yesterday where he told delegates from 200 countries that opulence and waste have no place in a world where hunger is growing.
