Hunger is not a natural disaster \u2013 it’s a political problem. And G20 leaders can and must act to end this scandal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the fight to address global food crises, will the French presidency at the G20 summit succeed where others have failed? On the eve of the G20 agriculture summit on 22-23 June, we urgently need to adopt an ambitious action plan. G20 leaders have a decisive role to play in Paris: they must tackle the problems in the food system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will take courage from G20 leaders to put the global food system back on track. They will have to break the „myth“ of hunger as being reducible to a technical issue or to a failure of food systems to produce sufficient volumes. The French presidency appears determined to act decisively on the issue of speculation on the agricultural commodities market. But beyond that, the G20 members remain deeply divided over agricultural policy for the 21st century. The outcome of this debate will have real consequences for all humanity.<\/p>\n

Five priorities may give this G20 summit a vital role in improving long-term global food security. As the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, I call upon G20 leaders to endorse the following priorities, and act upon them:<\/p>\n

We Feed the World is a 2005 documentary in which Austrian filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer traces the origins of the food we eat and views modern industrial production of food and factory farming in a critical light. His journey takes him to France, Spain, Romania, Switzerland, Brazil and back to Austria.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The movie features interviews with several people, including one with sociologist and politician Jean Ziegler.<\/p>\n

Food, Inc. <\/strong>lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing how our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.<\/p>\n

Food, Inc. reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it’s produced and who we have become as a nation.<\/p>\n
