What is needed, says another expert, Gerald Nelson at the University of Illinois, is another Green Revolution to increase productivity. This past weekend, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank held their spring meetings in Washington. The bank president said hunger, malnutrition and food policy were a central issue.
The United Nations World Food Program has appealed for five hundred million dollars by May first. Bob Zoellick said donor countries had promised almost half of the money, but that was not enough.
He said a doubling of food prices over the last three years could push one hundred million people in low-income countries deeper into poverty. And that could hurt future generations.
I.M.F. chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the real problem is a food deficit which will probably last for years. He says it can be argued that there are good reasons, connected to climate change, to try to push countries to substitute some kind of biofuel for oil.
But he says nations have to balance the production of biofuel from food crops with biofuel from nonfood resources. Some of the finance ministers in Washington said using food for fuel is a crime against humanity.
听写之后,别忘另一位伊利诺大学的专家杰拉尔德·纳尔逊说,(现在)需要的是绿色革命来增加生产力。上周末,国际货币基金组织和世界银行在华盛顿召开春季会议。世界银行行长说饥饿,营养不良和食品政策是一个核心问题。
联合国世界粮食计划项目呼吁5月1日时筹集5亿美元的资金。鲍伯·佐利克说捐赠国捐献了几乎一半的资金,但这仍是不够。
他说,在过去的三年中,食品价格翻倍使一亿低收入国家的人民陷入赤贫。而且,这将影响以后的几代人。
国际货币基金组织(IMF)总裁斯特劳斯·卡恩说真正的问题是食物短缺,而这将可能持续多年。他说,气候改变可能是很好的理由来督促国家用一些生物燃料取代石油。
但是他说国家需平衡用粮食作物和非粮食资源生产的生物燃料的产量。华盛顿的一些财政人员说用食物生产燃料是违背人性的犯罪。 了到译文与总结帖和大家一起讨论哦^_^
