http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041508C.shtml
Angela Balakrishnan, of The Guardian UK, writes, "A UN body today called on world leaders to urgently reform farming rules to boost the state of global agriculture and prevent a food crisis that could threaten international security and the fight against poverty. The International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) said in a report that failing to take action would put future generations in jeopardy."
