The WTO's Doha Round will not solve the global food crisis

War on Want has joined an international coalition of 237 farmers' organisations, trade unions, aid agencies and social movements in an open letter to government ministers, UN chiefs and other officials attending this week's food summit in Rome. The letter argues that the global food crisis must not be invoked as a reason to rush through a WTO trade deal, but that a fundamentally new approach to agriculture is needed.
