Jamaica backs FAO call for a hunger-free world
KINGSTON, Jamaica- JAMAICA has supported a call, led by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), for the eradication of hunger and malnourishment in the world.
Speaking at the 38th Session of the FAO's Conference at its headquarters in Rome, Italy on Tuesday, Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Roger Clarke said "Jamaica underscores our commitment to totally eradicating hunger by 2025, and welcomes the focus and initiatives of the FAO in pursuing our shared goal of a hunger-free world."
The minister said Jamaica embraced the concept of zero tolerance for world hunger and he recalled the drive, supported by FAO Director General Graziano da Silva, in his then capacity as head of the regional office for Latin America and the Caribbean, for a "Hunger-Free Latin America and the Caribbean Initiative".
