UN Says Food Shortage Caused By "Too Many People" ``The Quebec Declaration'' on world food security is in the works for release by the United Nations in early November, from its Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) based in Rome, which is observing the 50th anniversary of its founding on Oct. 16, 1995, in Quebec City. A draft text of the resolution, provided to this news service, shows that, as expected, it continues the rhetoric and role of the U.N. to ``talk food,'' while whole nations of millions of people have been forced into food import dependence, especially during the past 25-30 years, and now the food is not there. This process of forced food import dependence has been done in the name of ``free trade,'' and enforced by FAO sister organizations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, also founded 50 years ago. www.aboutsudan.com /issues/food/un_food_too_many_people.htm   (1352 words)

9711—Restoring the UN's Image—3/18/97 For example, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN sets the standards for international trade and agriculture. We're talking on this edition of Common Ground with Princeton Lyman, the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for international organizations under Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and David Birenbaum, the former US Representative for United Nations Management and Reform. I'm just somewhat perplexed by the dramatic drop in the image of the UN over the last half-dozen years, because at the end of the 80s, early 90s, there were a lot of articles written and a lot of talk about the new reinvigorated UN and the UN of the future. www.commongroundradio.org /shows/97/9711.html   (1352 words)

Module 5 - Indigenous Knowledge for the Environment This knowledge is passed from generation to generation, usually by word of mouth and cultural rituals, and has been the basis for agriculture, food preparation, health care, education, conservation and the wide range of other activities that sustain a society and its environment in many parts of the world for many centuries. Indigenous people are strikingly diverse in their culture, religion, and social and economic organization. If indigenous knowledge is given a place in the school curriculum, it would encourage pupils to learn from their parents, grand-parents and other adults in the community, and to appreciate and respect their knowledge. www.ens.gu.edu.au /ciree/LSE/mod5.htm   (807 words)

I like your selection of music and the fact that there's not a lot of talking. www.allclassical.org   (719 words)
