Authors James A. Paul and Katarina Wahlberg argue for effective short-term aid and longer-term transformation of the agricultural system to make it more justly distributive, resilient, and sustainable for the future. http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/hunger/general/index.htm#07paulwahlberg Recriminations Fly After Trade Talks Failure (July 30, 2008) The WTO talks in Geneva collapsed after governments failed to reach an agreement on the rules protecting small-scale farmers from the surge in food imports. Supported by 100 other countries, India and China argued that trade liberalization hinders the ability of small-scale farmers to compete with big companies seeking market opportunities in poor countries.. Although seven of the major world trading powers dominated much of the talks, analysts say that poor countries, led by China and India, still succeeded in collectively making their voices heard.

But, 36 percent of the world's grain supply feed livestock instead. Global Policy Forum's Katarina Wahlberg says, "using grain to feed cattle rather than people is putting enormous strain on stocks," since it takes seven pounds of grain to produce one pound of beef. Further, livestock production releases methane that contributes more greenhouse gases than the transportation sector. http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/hunger/general/2008/0718crowded.htm Comprehensive Framework for Action (July 2008) In this plan of action, the UN High-Level Task Force on the Global Food Crisis presents two sets of recommendations to world leaders. In the short term, the report advocates addressing the immediate needs of vulnerable populations through increased emergency aid and safety nets. In the long term, the report promotes establishing a resilient global food system through increased investments focused on small-holder farmers. While experts have identified biofuel production, trade liberalization, climate change and unsustainable consumption as major causes of the food crisis, the Task Force fails to recommend stronger action on such issues. http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/hunger/general/index.htm#07untaskforce Financing for Development: From Monterrey to Doha (July 2008) Ahead of the November 2008 Financing for Development (FfD) conference in Doha, this South Centre report calls on poorer countries to set up a post-Doha agenda to foster South-South cooperation on FfD issues. Since the first FfD summit in 2002, the international economic context has changed - countries like China and India are emerging as key players in global financial markets. South Centre doubts that richer countries will engage in substantial dialogue at the upcoming meeting to address these shifts in order to effectively deal with FfD issues. http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/ffd/conference/doha/index.htm#southcentre Seven Reasons Why the Doha Round Will Not Solve the Food Crisis (May 2008) Some world leaders argue that the WTO Doha Round will solve the global food crisis. But, this Institute for Agricultural and Trade Policy (IATP) article says increased trade liberalization will reinforce poorer countries' dependence on food imports. Further, deregulation policies will increase the power of transnational agribusinesses at the expense of local farmers. Instead, the IATP argues, world leaders should reform the rules governing international trade to control the market power exerted by agribusiness companies. http://www.globalpolicy.org/socecon/bwi-wto/wto/2008/05doha.htm "It is now 30 years since I have been confining myself to the treatment ofchronic diseases.
