Benedict XVI: Eradicating poverty and hunger.
It is love for the poor that motivates a commitment against the injustices
caused by a lack of economic resources and nutritional supplies.
Pope Benedict XVI emphasized this in his address to officials and representatives of IFAD, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, which operates in the United Nations.
The Holy Father noted that we need new strategies to fight the poverty which is increasing in the agricultural sector.
IFAD's projects to assist small farmers and indigenous communities should be enhanced and promoted.
In this respect, the Catholic world and non-government organizations also have a role to play in spreading the principles of subsidiarity, and avoiding the exploitation of the market to the detriment of small producers.
In this context, the goal of eradicating poverty and hunger has become an imperative for the international community.
