Tilt down from ceiling to wide of plenary session\u003cbr/\u003eWorld food production must rise by 50 percent by 2030 to meet increasing demand, United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon told world leaders on Tuesday at a summit grappling with hunger and civil unrest caused by food price hikes.\u003cbr/\u003eThe secretary-general told the Rome summit that nations must minimise export restrictions and import tariffs during the food price crisis and quickly resolve world trade talks.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The world needs to produce more food,\" Ban said. \"Food production needs to rise by 50 percent by the year 2030 to meet the rising demand.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Rome-based UN Food and Agriculture Organisation is hosting the three-day summit to try to solve the short-term emergency of increased hunger caused by soaring prices and to help poor countries grow enough food to feed their own.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Today's problem will only grow larger tomorrow unless we act now today. I call on you to take bold and urgent steps to address the root causes of this global food crisis,\" Ban said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a message read to delegates, Pope Benedict XVI said \"hunger and malnutrition are unacceptable in a world which, in reality, has sufficient production levels, the resources, and the know-how to put an end to these tragedies and their consequences\".\u003cbr/\u003eHe told the world leaders that millions of people in unstable countries were looking to them for solutions.\u003cbr/\u003eBan said a UN task force he set up to deal with the crisis is recommending that nations improve vulnerable people's access to food and take immediate steps to increase food availability in their communities.\u003cbr/\u003eThat means increasing food aid, supplying small farmers with seed and fertiliser in time for this year's planting seasons, and reducing trade restrictions to help the free flow of agricultural goods.\u003cbr/\u003eThe World Bank calculates that there has been an 83 percent increase in prices in the last three years.\u003cbr/\u003ePrice speculation, the increasing diversion of food and animal feed to produce biofuel, and sharply higher fuel costs have conspired to help to shoot prices upward, experts say.\u003cbr/\u003eZimbabwean President Robert Mugabe addressed world leaders at the summit against a backdrop of sharp criticism over his participation.\u003cbr/\u003eOnce hailed as a hero of African liberation, Mugabe has come to be widely reviled for presiding over the collapse of a onetime African bread basket into a nation where millions go hungry.\u003cbr/\u003eHis government is accused of cracking down on political opposition ahead of a presidential runoff later this month.\u003cbr/\u003eMugabe defended the seizure of land from whites, saying he is undoing a legacy of Zimbabwe's former colonial \"masters\".\u003cbr/\u003eHe contended that while land reform was \"warmly welcomed\" by most of his people, \"it has ... elicited wrath from our former colonial masters\".\u003cbr/\u003e\"In retaliation ... the United Kingdom has mobilised her friends and allies in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand to impose illegal economic sanctions against Zimbabwe,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough Mugabe pinned much of his nation's plight on the sanctions, the measures are actually narrowly targeted at him and his allies.\u003cbr/\u003eSome 40 heads of state or government were present at the summit, including French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.\u003cbr/\u003eBrazilian President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva also addressed delegates on Monday, reminding them that \"every night more than 800 million people around the world go to sleep hungry\".\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is offensive, an insult to humanity,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eJapanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, meanwhile, unveiled additional aid to help those affected by the current high prices of food stuffs.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the Kyodo news agency, he pledged to provide 50 (m) million US dollars to help developing countries increase agricultural food production, in addition to the 100 (m) million US dollars in aid already implemented this year in the field.\u003cbr/\u003eFukuda said it was important that the international community took immediate steps to relieve the poor, as well as implementing comprehensive medium and long term measures.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Japan is prepared to release in the near future over 300-thousand tonnes of imported rice, held by the Japanese government,\" he said, and urged others to do the same.\u003cbr/\u003eJapan is hosting the G-8 summit of industrialised nations in July, where food security is also expected to high on the agenda, along with climate change and the economy.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
