No food talk
the recently concluded World Food Summit at Rome was a sorry affair. The aim was to review the progress made since the food summit in 1996 when the world had jointly resolved to halve the number of malnourished to 400 million by 2015. But the report card is shameful. The world has millions of hungry people and over 28 per cent of the African population is termed as "chronically hungry'.
This summit was marked by the absence of world leaders
