"World Food Security: the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy"
World Food Day, October 16th, is a worldwide event designed to increase awareness, understanding and informed, year-around action to alleviate hunger.
World Food Day activities aim at expanding global awareness in an effort to reduce the effects of increasingly severe climate patterns on agriculture and the impact of biofuels on food production.
High food prices and related issues, challenges food security at the present time, as rapidly rising food prices risk increasing the number of hungry people, notes Food And Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’s Chief of World Food Day events, Sidaty Aidara.
With the number of undernourished people currently estimated at more than 850 million, high food prices are not only putting at greater risk the hungry but those also on the brink of poverty.
