UN: 22 Countries in Danger of Famine (2/2)



The FAO will host a conference that opens next Tuesday where delegates from all over the world will discuss high food prices and the challenges to reduce food insecurity, posed in the long-term by climate change and other factors. A number of world leaders are expected to attend.
 
The U.N. agency says the meeting will be a "historic chance" to re-launch the fight against hunger and poverty and boost agricultural production in developing countries.
 
"We are trying to attract the attention of the international community and bring people in the same venue to make decisions, outline plans, set up strategies for facing the short and long-term consequences of high food prices for food security.This is a high level conference on challenges. And we believe also that a lot of these challenges have to be faced through coordinated action among countries and not in isolation."

The FAO report says the conference should agree on plans to boost local food production and increase investments to stimulate production.

It adds that leaders need to agree on assistance to the poor, including food subsidies and cash transfers.

联合国粮食及农业组织(FAO)将在下周二召开会议。届时,世界各地的代表将对长期由气候变化和其他因素造成的食品价格居高不下和减少食品不安全问题的挑战进行讨论。很多世界领导人都将出席这次会议。

联合国机构说这次会议将成为重新启动反击饥饿和贫困之战,推进发展中国家的农业生产的一次"历史性机遇"。

"我们正努力引起国际社会的关注,让人们在同一背景下做出决定,草拟计划,制定策略,以解决将面临的食品价格过高和食品安全所带来的长期和短期的问题。我们认为,其中的很多挑战,必须通过国家之间的通力合作来共同面对,而不是孤军奋战。"

FAO的报告指出,这次会议将就推进地区粮食生产和增加投资以刺激生产问题达成一致。
它还补充,国家领导人有必要同意资助贫困国家,包括提供食品补助和现金。
