The United Nations focused World Food Day talks on Tuesday on lowering food prices in the face of droughts in Australia and the United States and a drop in harvests in Europe and the Black Sea region.

A meeting at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Rome chaired by French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll brings together ministers from 20 countries including major producers and import-dependent developing countries.
