Pope calls for more investment in farming

Pope Benedict XVI yesterday called for increased investment in the farming sector to help stabilise production and global food prices in a message to the UN food agency to mark World Food Day.
"The aim of this day should be an engagement to change behaviour and take decisions in order to ensure that everyone today -- not tomorrow -- has access to the necessary food resources," the pope said in a statement.
"The farming sector should have a sufficient level of investment and of resources to stabilise production and therefore also the market," he added.
