FAO

The 40th Session of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Conference on Monday called for the activation of global commitments to eradicating hunger, one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In an inaugural speech, Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said that reaching "zero hunger" determined by the international community as a new ambitious goal for the 2030 agenda of the sustainable development is considered a main condition for equality and justice.

He called for "renewed and extraordinary efforts" particularly pointing to the influx of migrants into the European Union (EU) country's shores.
