S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Latin American countries, especially Brazil, have made progress in combating hunger, but in African nations, food insecurity continues to grow. It is the G20\u2019s duty to seek solutions for hunger, said FAO <\/a>Director-General Qu Dongyu on Thursday (12). He was speaking at the official opening of the G20 Agriculture Working Group meeting held in Chapada dos Guimar\u00e3es, Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his speech, Qu reminded that one of the key values of the G20 \u2013 the group of the world\u2019s largest economies \u2013 is to serve as venue for policy coordination among the major global economies. However, he noted that the world is still far from achieving the \u201cZero Hunger\u201d goal set by the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals. \u201cWe need to step up food assistance while developing and implementing strategies that protect the environment and generate fair incomes for farmers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conflicts increase the challenge of combating hunger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FAO highlighted setbacks and challenges in combating hunger, citing the 25 million people facing food insecurity in Sudan due to conflicts, as well as the 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip who need food and assistance for survival. The organization also mentioned the approximately one million people facing food emergencies in each of the following countries: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, South Sudan, Haiti, and Nigeria. \u201cWe cannot fail them,\u201d Qu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two days of preparatory work, the G20 Agriculture Working Group was officially opened on Thursday (12), with the presence of, in addition to Dongyu, Brazil\u2019s Ministers of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos F\u00e1varo, and of Agrarian Development and Family Agriculture, Paulo Teixeira. In November, the G20 summit will bring together global leaders in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
