(16.11.2009). Welthungerhilfe welcomes the quick agreement on a final declaration at the World Food Summit in Rome, but criticises its non-binding nature.

"Now actions must also quickly follow on from the declaration - when a billion people are starving we must not waste more time with declarations of intent", says Dr. Rafael Schneider, Welthungerhilfe's world food expert attending the summit meeting in Rome.
