"Moscow's dastardly decision last July to pull out of the grain agreement further worsens this scenario" of food insecurity and scarcity of essential goods. "It is a crime to turn food and water into instruments of conflict. On the contrary, food and water bear witness to the indivisibility of humanity's destiny. The right to food and water are inscribed within a broader right to life, and they support an idea of 'human security' that requires cooperation". Thus President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, in his speech at the Opening Ceremony of World Food Day at FAO.
