  • An acute food crisis has struck the world in 2008. This is on top of a longer-term crisis of agriculture and food that has already left billions hungry and malnourished. In order to understand the full, dire implications of what is happening today it is necessary to look at the interaction between these short-term and long-term crises. Both crises arise primarily from the for-profit production of food, fiber, and now biofuels, and the rift between food and people that this inevitably generates.

  • United Nations estimates that close to 1 billion suffer from chronic hunger

  • leaves out those suffering from vitamin and nutrient deficiencies and other forms of malnutrition
  • total number of food insecure people who are malnourished or lacking critical nutrients is probably closer to 3 billion—about half of humanity
  • approximately 18,000 children die daily as a direct or indirect consequence of malnutrition
  • over 35 million people lived in food-insecure households, including 13 million children
  • Due to a lack of food adults living in over 12 million households could not eat balanced meals and in over 7 million families someone had smaller portions or skipped meals
  • In close to 5 million families, children did not get enough to eat at some point during the year
  • In poor countries too, it is not unusual for large supplies of wasted and misallocated food to exist in the midst of widespread and persistent hunger

  • Dozens of world leaders will be meeting at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters in Rome starting Tuesday to address a global food crisis caused in part by water shortages in Africa, Australia and here in southern Spain. Climate change means that creeping deserts may eventually drive 135 million people off their land, the United Nations estimates. Most of them are in the developing world. But Southern Europe is experiencing the problem now, its climate drying to the point that it is becoming more like Africa’s, scientists say.

  • Lebanon joined the 15-member consensus required to pass a presidential statement, but then “disassociated” itself from the result. The statement “does not help in addressing the current situation,” said Caroline Ziade, Lebanon’s deputy permanent representative, in a widely anticipated move given that Syria has held sway over the Lebanese government for decades.
  • Although the statement also called for halting attacks against state institutions, a step demanded by various countries including Brazil and India, diplomats said the statement also increased pressure on the Syrian government to stop deploying tanks against its citizens.
