AFP: Hunger may get worse: WTO chief: "WTO chief Pascal Lamy warned Friday that the food crisis may get worse over the next years as the world's population grows and arable land recedes.
'Today's situation is not good and it may get worse in the coming years because of population growth, dwindling available (farm) land and a change in food habits,' Lamy told a roundtable on the sidelines of a summit of French speaking countries.
'Food security is a moral and political must,' he added.
Lamy called on governments to divert more money to the farming sector and put an end to waste which he said was responsible for a 30-percent drop in worldwide food production."
