The FAO: in Whose Interest?
The FAO: in Whose Interest?
The Summit of the Food and Agriculture Organisation held in Rome on June 2 and 3, 2008 began with a downsizing in the menu of the delegates’ lunch, but the rest of the summit was characterized by the usual waste: of time.
Symbolically, the delegates ate well, then discussed the famine to be suffered - by others. The situation of the world's farmers was practically ignored at the summit – the usual practice, which reflects these organization’s tendencies to ignore the total nature of crises to be dealt with, the leader of a global farmers' group stated.
"It's a reflection of how disconnected and dis-linked our multilateral agencies are, from the situation on the ground… The people who have the ability to actually do something about this crisis were precluded… I'm worried about the importance and priority of farmers in this whole equation" Ajay Vashee, head of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP, the world’s largest farming organization with 600 million independent family farmers in 115 organizations from 80 countries) told AFP at the close of the 38th World Farmers' Congress in Warsaw, Poland.
