From a PR email:
Calling for food security to be recognized as a material human right, the report raised the alarm that the progress made to reduce hunger in recent decades is now going into reverse. However, it did so while offering solutions hand in hand.
Building on this sentiment, the report brought the readers’ attention to the fact that even after 50 years of world conferences, declarations, and targets— hunger and malnutrition remain the world’s greatest health risk.
So stop sodding around with the fucking conferences and go out into a field and work out how to grow food better then you ignorant, parasitic, knobheads.
Norman Bourlag did. Why can’t you?

Tossers.

Having it declared as a right will produce how much food? Upon whom will the accompanying responsibility fall?
When I was working I had a notice pinned up in my office.
Bored? Lonely? HAVE A MEETING!!
This example is marginally less loony than flying loads of jets to some place to tell us CO2 is BAAADDD! That we must stop cows farting to save the planet, then flying all those jets thousands of miles back home to decide “oh, the peasants are revolting, let’s produce tons of the stuff, so I get re-elected!”
Rinse and repeat.
I demand the right not to hear about rights ever again
Difficult to do much about hunger when much if it is deliberate policy of the governments paying your wages.
This is rather like a husband telling his wife he wouldn’t dream of having an affair. Starvation is part of the plan, but they don’t want to let on for reasons involving their necks.
The Party will eliminate world hunger by closing down large quantities of the agricultural output of the world’s second largest food exporter.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
On this front, there’s conference-downstream malice aforethought going on in Canada, Germany and the Netherlands at least.
As has been said above – but it always bears repeating – the way the ‘international community’ want to end ‘hunger and malnutrition’ is to freeze many of us to death and starve most of the remainder.
Then those happy peasants remaining will live joyous lives of peace and plenty, (as long as they feed their masters first).
I seem to remember the Green Revolution stalled because white westerners objected to polluting poor countries with western technology.
Trousers are a material human right.
I don’t believe there is a shortage of food globally
There is a failure of supply, storage and distribution
Much of which is deliberate
The idiots pushing this sort of nonsense seem to think they and theirs will survive the consequences. They won’t.
“Look, if we admit the truth that it’s all a load of bollocks, how am I ever going to be able to visit all those lovely places, all exes paid?

@ Starfish
There is *No longer* a shortage of food globally since they abolished Collective Farms.
Storage – under Communism, rats ate one-third of the grain stored in Siberia (the second-largest grain-producing area in theworld and probably the fifth largest producer of grain).
To say there is no shortage of food but a shortage of supply is contradictory.
Distribution remains a problem exacerbated by things like theEU’s CAP and CFP and human greed
Ooh, I quite fancy COP28 in Dubai. Hot, nice hotels, the hilarity when everyone pretends their hosts give a shit about the climate in 2100….
@MC – No doubt Allah will provide.
I remember when “Doha” was the World Trade Organisation conference in 2001-
2/3/4…18 what? 2018???Let’s look at what the WTO conferences discussed. Hmm:
tariffs
tariffs
tariffs
tariffs admission of Japan
tariffs
tariffs and dumping
tariffs, non-tariff measures, “framework” agreements
tariffs, non-tariff measures, rules, services, intellectual property, dispute settlement, textiles, agriculture, creation of WTO
tariffs, non-tariff measures, agriculture, labour standards, environmental protection, competition, investment, transparency, patents, global warming, voting methods, gender re-assignment, climate change, colonial restitution, disarmament, dismantling capitalism, self-identity (ok, I may have made some of them up)
Good God, no wonder it’s still going on.
One thing that is presumably in even scarcer supply than food is tinfoil, at least judging by some of you on here.
@TMB Trousers are a material human right.
And in the case of some people, a public good.
