President Ali proposes new global food system to combat hunger
PRESIDENT Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, in his address at the Voice of Global South Summit in India, on Thursday pro-
posed a new global food initiative that incorporates a tax and financial system to directly combat hunger.
President Ali acknowledged India’s strengths in technology, research and development, agro-processing, and human and
technical capacity, and called for the formation of a team of experts to assist in food production in lowlying and small-island
developing states. According to him, sustainable development is unachievable without food security, and therefore, the
global south must act collectively to guarantee its full security.
