Three-Day United Nations Summit Seek To Fix 'Broken' Global Food System

AFP: UN talks seek to fix 'broken' global food system 

A three-day United Nations summit opened in Rome on Monday aimed at tackling a "broken" global food system where millions are starving, two billion are overweight or obese and the planet is suffering. 

The food systems summit comes amid growing food insecurity around the world, with UN agencies warning of an increasing number of people suffering from chronic hunger.

This is just show so they can tell us global warming causes it/ climate change lol not them cutting 25% fertiliser production globally which in itself will kill at least one billion people if not replaced. And they told us they won't replace it, ie they're murdering 1-6th of the global population abs causing MASSIVE and violent migrations.

I say we hang them.
