Importantly, I would like to shed the light on the dilemma that is affecting every single individual in this world, which is the increase in food prices!
For that, I will be sharing what FAO is calling for on this day: Food Prices Stabilization.
Why?
Because millions of people around the world live in chronic hunger, not to forget the horrible Crisis in theHorn of Africa, which was not just because of the dreadful drought but also due to many economical reasons.
When food prices fluctuate wildly as they have in recent years, it's the poor who are hit the hardest. World Food Day 2011 calls on the global community to do what's needed to stabilize food prices.
Here is the videoby FAO : "FOOD PRICES -- FROM CRISIS TO STABILITY" to shed some light on this trend and what can be done to mitigate its impact on the most vulnerable.
And for this day also ,The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Program (WFP) are celebrating World Food Day 2011 tomorrow 17 October with a series of speeches by visiting guests and performances by celebrity goodwill ambassadors. More on this story.
