Last week,the United Nations held a world summit on food security in Rome. (26) But the three-day meeting produced only limited measures to fight rising hunger. The U. N. World Food Program says more than a billion people—one in six worldwide—do not get enough food to be healthy.
The troubled world economy is not the only cause of recent increases. The poorest countries continue to face high food prices,which have fallen elsewhere. (27) The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization says more than 30 nations continue to need emergency food assistance.
The delegates in Rome promised to continue efforts to reduce by half the number of hungry people by 2015. But critics pointed out that world leaders made a similar promise more than ten years ago.
(28) Several countries promised to increase aid for agriculture, to help developing nations become more independent.
Still, critics deplored a lack of greater action. Leaders from more than 60 countries were in Rome. But Italian Prime Minister was the only leader from a major industrial nation in the Group of Eight. (29) An official from Kenya said it showed a lack of unity in the fight against hunger. He pointed out that both the developed world and the developing countries should come together and support a global initiative in the war against hunger.
The Food and Agriculture Organization says more than 40 billion dollars a year needs to be invested in agriculture to defeat world hunger. The growing problem has affected developing countries, but also industrialized nations.
26. What does the speaker say about the three-day meeting?
27. Who says more than 30 nations need emergency food assistance?
28. What do some delegates promise on the meeting?
29. What does the Kenya official criticize?
