The Lampedusa Island boat tragedy that took the lives of many Africans happened as I was attending the 40th session of the UN Committee for World Food Security (CFS) in Rome. The CFS is held every October around World Food Day, and brings together governments, multilateral agencies, civil society, academics, and the private sector to look at the state of global food security and hunger.
