On Friday, October 19 the World Bank released its World Development Report 2008. The focus of the 2008 report is on agriculture, and the report is entitled "Agriculture for Development." In the report, "The World Bank Group is advocating a new ‘agriculture for development’ agenda. According to the WDR, for the poorest people, GDP growth originating in agriculture is about four times more effective in reducing poverty than GDP growth originating outside the sector."
The World Development Report 2008 section of the World Bank website contains a downloadable version of the report and related materials.
To go back to the comment stated before mine about how it is ironic there are food shortages here in our own territory. I know the first mental picture I get when thinking of hungry families is those starving to death in third world countries. Never do I imagine those of my own country. That is why something about the shortages needs to be done

Therefore no shortage needs to be done. I never imagined them in my own country.
