La Banca Mondiale ha infatti pubblicato e poi ritirato un documento sulla richiesta da parte dei Paesi in via di sviluppo di designare una lista di prodotti fondamentali per la loro autosufficienza alimentare da tutelare. “Il riconoscimento di questi prodotti speciali - sostiene Sergio Marelli, direttore generale Focsiv - aiuterebbe i Paesi più poveri a difendersi dal dumping che danneggia le già fragili economie locali".

14.11.2006 Another Children’s Day is here, but do the little ones care when they have the entire year to themselves! Life is a mad whirl, flitting from one object to another — toys, video games, TV, clothes, fast food, parties...there is so much to choose from. But the spontaneity of a child’s laughter is diminishing as growing up gets fast-tracked.

Papa Benedetto XVI - da Asianews
14.11.2006 "Che una voce così ascoltata come quella del Papa ricordi il dramma della fame nel mondo è un fatto importante e apprezzabile" - dichiara Marco De Ponte, segretario generale di ActionAid. "Chiedendo criteri di giustizia nei confronti di coloro che coltivano la terra, il Pontefice ha sottolineato uno dei principali problemi nella lotta alla fame: almeno la metà degli 852 milioni di persone che vanno a letto affamate ogni sera, infatti, sono agricoltori" - ricorda De Ponte. "Questi contadini spesso non riescono neppure a produrre il cibo sufficiente per sfamare se stessi e le proprie famiglie, e ciò a causa di scelte politiche sbagliate compiute sia a livello di governi nazionali sia di organizzazioni mondiali" - spiega il segretario generale di ActionAid. Il Pontefice ha ricordato l’ultimo rapporto Fao che riporta che “800 milioni di persone vivono in stato di sottoalimentazione e troppe persone, specialmente bambini, muoiono di fame”.
