Obama hunger plan to help, but must seize momentum


by Roberta Rampton, Reuters.

"The Obama administration has the right approach for reducing world hunger but must move quickly on its plan to make food security a central part of its foreign policy by helping the world's poorest farmers.
The administration wants to spend $3.5 billion over the next three years on projects to help farmers get seed, fertilizer, training and access to markets, dovetailing with pledges of more than $22 billion from other countries".


Hunger, agriculture, climate change... the unprecedented attention to the issue from the highest levels of U.S. government.
