Food, that most basic of human needs, is in critically short supply for nearly one in every eight people on Earth. "Every day, more than 800 million people worldwide - among them 300 million children - suffer the gnawing pain of hunger, and the diseases or disabilities caused by malnutrition," UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan told delegates at the World Food Summit: Five Years Later, which took place in Rome.
