UN food summit gets underway in Rome

More than 60 government leaders and officials are meeting in Rome for a three-day UN summit on fighting global hunger.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon wants to rally the world behind a change in aid policy. He also wants to secure a pledge to spend more money to develop agriculture in poor countries.

World leaders are expected to pledge that increase. But a draft declaration already approved by delegates omits any specific financial commitments and doesn't include the 2025 deadline for eradicating hunger that the UN seeks.
