Ask European leaders to dedicate funds to African agriculture.
>> 17 October 2008
If you are a U2 fan, I'm sure you have as Bono is its co-founder. Watch Bono's appearance on CNN.
I just signed a petition to support an innovative plan to use extra money from the EU budget to support African farmers. I hope that you'll join me in taking action here.
We've seen aid achieve some amazing things in recent years - like over 29 million more children in school for the first time, and over 2 million more Africans with access to AIDS medications. But we must recognize the ongoing hunger crisis for the obstacle that it is and work to overcome it if we hope to continue our success. Europe can lead the way right now by giving African agriculture the support it needs.
