David Beckmann at Rome High-Level Conference on World Food Security
Posted by Billy Shore on Friday, June 27, 2008
David Beckmann is president of Bread for the World, an organization whose anti-hunger efforts Share Our Strength has had the privilege to support for many years now. We also have the privilege of benefitting from his thinking on matters that range from childhood hunger in the U.S. to the global food crisis. Not surprisingly, there are some common links even between the two, especially the impact of rising food prices on poor families whether here at home or around the world, and also the critical need to marshal the political will required for long term, sustainable solutions.
For this reason I thought you'd appreciate David's first-hand report from the High-Level Conference on World Food Security held in Rome in early June. As always please feel free to share any comments you may have.
