Monday Morning News for the Week

Just so that everyone is aware, today is also the UN's World Food Day which kicks off Anti-Poverty Week for Australia:

"The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations celebrates World Food Day each year on 16 October, the day on which the Organization was founded in 1945. The World Food Day and TeleFood theme for 2006 is "Investing in agriculture for food security".

Agriculture may have become a minor player in many industrialized economies, but it must play a starring role on the world stage if we are to bring down the curtain on hunger."


Bono is also in the news this week in New Zealand, starting dialogue with that country's leadership and announcing upcoming concerts and other events to raise awareness in that country.
