Piñol proposes world food bank vs hunger

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol proposed before the United Nations the establishment of a world food bank to arrest the worsening number of hungry people in the world.

In his statement during the 40th Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Session Conference in Italy, Piñol said that the food bank would act as a “unique bank” where agricultural products could be deposited and loaned out to countries suffering from food shortages and famine.
