lpv:translated text	"When solving problems such as the one we are dealing with today, we should pause to think about what caused them in the first place. The demographic crisis, human trafficking, global warming, cancer or terrorism have not just appeared by chance or overnight, nor did the problem of rising food prices. By the same token, when dealing with rising food prices and its impact on the population we are inclined more often than not to look for solutions to the consequences without thinking about the causes. The truth, however, is that we can only prevent the crisis from deteriorating if we get to the root of the problem. When dealing with rising food prices and food crises in some parts of the world we also have to address the issues of the quality and quantity of food, which is one of the fundamental aspects of the lives of every man, woman, family or nation on this planet. How can a young person develop physically, intellectually and spiritually without access to the necessary nutrition? How can a mother and father provide for their family unless they have the food they need to do so? We must not forget that the richest countries are those that used to exploit, often without due consideration, the wealth of poor countries without any compensation. They did not respect an ecological balance, and today we can see the impact of their actions on the poorest populations. Perhaps we do not have to look too far. We should look at our own institutions, throwing away a lot of food every day because of internal regulations, while people suffering from hunger live nearby. Everywhere in the world, hungry people usually make bad partners."@en1
