Sarkozy: Food crisis requires handling by experts, like climate change panel
None
French President Nicolas Sarkozy says he has received international support for his idea of creating an experts group to tackle the global food crisis, similar to the Noble Prize-winning panel on climate change.
''In the 21st century, we must be able to feed the planet,'' Sarkozy said in an interview published in Japan ahead of the G8 summit. Early last month, Sarkozy proposed creating a panel of top experts on food issues, similar to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to diagnose problems and help world leaders make the best possible decisions.
