Starvation, malnutrition and poverty continually stalk vulnerable members of the human family. Yet on World Food Day 2007, the Director-General of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, Jacques Diouf, confirmed that, ”Our planet produces enough food to feed its entire population”. More food production is not the only answer to world hunger. Propaganda claims Genetically Manipulated (GM) crops, plants and animals will produce more food to ”feed the world”. False GM promises take scarce resources away from solving the real systemic problems created by intensive GM, oil-dependent farming, including ecological disruption and hunger.
