Strategically speaking: the world food summit, five years later

Amalric sets out some of the criteria for an international movement for food security among governments, financial institutions, & civil society, & assesses the World Food Summit (WFS) according to these criteria. He asks that we look seriously at whether the WFS was merely a communication event with no real power, capacity, or even intent to actually bring about change, & take the opportunity 5 years later to reverse past failures. Responses are offered by Najma Sadeque, M. G. Sattar, Roland Kwemain, Stuart J. Clark, Ricardo Cifuentes, Johan Pottier, Andre Mballa, David Northcott, Denis Cangy, Jochen Donner, and Hamish Jenkins. 1 Figure, 3 References. Adapted from the source document.
