Pope Benedict called on all Christians on Sunday to assist in global efforts to address a food price crisis that could lead to more people going hungry. He emphasized the importance of not turning a blind eye to those who lack access to basic nourishment in today's society. The pontiff, speaking at St. Peter's Square in Rome, expressed concern over the escalating severity of the problem and the challenges faced by the international community in finding a solution. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization is set to hold a summit in Rome next month to address the impact of rising commodity prices on food security, particularly for the poorest nations. This includes discussions on climate change and the use of biofuels, which have led to a significant decrease in food production.
