Recognizing the disproportionate impact of the global food crisis on children in the developing world.

Summary

Expresses the sense of Congress that in the context of the current global food crisis the nutritional needs of children must be a humanitarian priority. States that Congress: (1) recognizes that we are facing a global food crisis caused by, among other things, rising fuel prices, increased diversion of land to biofuel production, drought, and population increases; and (2) calls for a world forum to be held on the issue of rising food prices and international response and for the United States to play an active role in alleviating the crisis.
