UN to employ local successes in fight against global hunger

China's accomplishments in securing food safety, nutrition and poverty alleviation for its population are a crucial part of a new five-year strategic plan launched by the United Nations World Food Programme in Beijing on Tuesday.

Working with the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, the WFP aims to use the plan as a step toward building a world without hunger by 2030. It enables WFP to learn from China's expertise and experience to foster a new generation of farm leaders who can provide practical, on site demonstrations.

The program, for example, would enable such young African leaders in agriculture to come to China and observe, then receive seed money to implement innovative solutions and demonstrate practices to their peers back in their home countries.
