Pope Benedict called on all Christians to assist global efforts in addressing a food price crisis that could lead to more people facing hunger. He emphasized the importance of not being indifferent to those who lack basic necessities, such as food. The pontiff expressed concern over the seriousness of the issue and highlighted the struggle of the international community in finding a solution. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization will hold a summit in Rome next month to address the challenges arising from soaring commodity prices, which have significantly increased the food import bills of the most impoverished nations. This summit will also examine the impact of climate change and the use of biofuels on food security.
