Can the G7 be a force for good in the current global food security crisis? por Laborde Debucquet, David, Smaller, Carin

“…The G7 effort can help to ensure a commensurate response to what is turning out to be the worst glob al hunger crisis in decades, and in so doing help to elevate the G7 itself, whose relevance as an exclusive group of rich and elite countries has been questioned.
