Address by His Holiness Pope John Paul II to FAO biennial Conference delegates (Audience in the Vatican, 5 December 2003)- On the Occasion of the Thirty-second Session of the Conference (Rome, 29 November - 10 December 2003)
|
 |
"I am confident that the work of FAO in establishing an International Alliance Against Hunger will bear fruit in practical choices and political decision inspired by the awareness that humanity is one family. As in every family, concern must be shown above all to those who are disadvantaged and in need. The world may not remain deaf to the plea of those who demand the food they need in order to survive!"

Interview with the daughters of David Lubin |
|
An informal and unrehearsed interview with Mrs. Evangeline Lubin-Silenzi and Mrs. Laura Lubin-Saqui on the life of their father, David Lubin.
David Lubin: 1849–1919, American agriculturist, b. Poland. After prospering as a merchant in California, he devoted himself to helping farmers with their problems. Through his efforts the California Fruit Growers Association, a cooperative marketing group, was established. His plan to found a worldwide agricultural institute found favor in Italy, and in 1905 the International Institute of Agriculture was founded in Rome, with 46 nations participating. Lubin was the U.S. representative to IIA until his death. In 1945 the institute's activities were absorbed by the FAO.
