Pope Benedict called on all Christians to assist in global efforts to address a food price crisis that is putting millions at risk of hunger. He emphasized the importance of not turning a blind eye to those who lack daily bread, drawing a parallel to the Christian Eucharist. The pontiff highlighted the severity of the issue and the struggles of the international community to find a solution in his address to pilgrims at St. Peter's Square in Rome. A summit hosted by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization on June 3-5 in Rome will focus on the challenges posed by soaring commodity prices, which have significantly increased the food import bills of the poorest nations. The summit will also address the impact of climate change and biofuel production on food security.
