Rome, October 18 (RHC)-- During the United Nations World Food Forum, the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, called for an alternative model to capitalism that guarantees food security and sovereignty.

The Hondruan president said that the alternative model must be humane and fair, anti-colonial, anti-racist, multipolar and feminist.  In this regard, Xiomara Castro noted that every four seconds a person in the world is in danger of dying of hunger, while billions of dollars in weapons are sent to conflicts that only serve to widen the pockets of warlords.

"There is a lot of hypocrisy in this world, when we pretend that poverty and hunger have nothing to do with the insane violence of the industrial-military-financial complex of the First World, which is interested in peace," Xiomara Castro stressed.

She also indicated that hunger is the result of the infinite greed of capital and its model loaded with monopolies, concessions and other businesses that are more dangerous for humanity than earthquakes or natural catastrophes.

"The current world order is the main responsible for this human tragedy, and the powerful financial groups of transnational capital, with their extractivist and privatization model, with their mercantile activities, obtain the greatest profits", she emphasized.

The United Nations World Food Forum will be in session until October 21st in Rome, with the participation of leaders of numerous countries, scientists, business people and other personalities.
