Assessing the global food crisis

The special envoy of food security at the US State Department says millions of people are facing acute food insecurity around the globe.

Cary Fowler says increased agricultural production can help tackle the current global food crisis.

“The humanitarian need is going to overwhelm us unless we put into place the kinds of programs that will help ramp up agricultural production so countries around the world can be more self-sufficient,” Fowler said.
