Make food a priority for all people

Notes: "Church-linked campaigns in the fight against hunger have urged new approaches to trade that uphold people's right to food. 'Food cannot be treated like any other commodity,' said Jose Pablo Prado Cordova, vice-chairperson of the Food Strategy Group for the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance, an international Christian network. 'Many current trade policies undermine food systems', he said." "Rev David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, noted that 150 million more people have been pushed into extreme poverty and more than a billion people are struggling to feed their families."
