G8 leaders meeting in L’Aquila, Italy, unveiled a plan to commit US$20 billion of funding to the development of agriculture and said they would tackle persistent food shortages in developing countries.
The three-year initiative will also help developing countries develop scientific research in agriculture; foster international collaborations and improve the dissemination of research.
The agricultural investment should help with hunger, growth and equity in these hard times.
