Latin America to Talk Food Crisis Measures

Caracas - Experts from 27 country members of the Latin American Economic System (SELA) are studying on Wednesday in Venezuela the regional impact of the food crisis.

The goal of this meeting, which involves experts from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Latin American and Caribbean Economic Commission (ECLAC), is promoting national and regional food security measures.

Raising food prices have helped boost this crisis, and maintaining it will only lead to soaring the poverty levels to over 10 million victims in the region.
