On 16 October 2010, World Food Day enters its 30th year. The theme of this year's observance, “United against hunger”, seeks to recognize the efforts made in the fight against world hunger by all actors, at all levels; and urges us to be even more united to do more.
2010年10月16日，世界糧食日活動進入第30個年頭。今年慶祝活動的主題是“團結起來，戰勝飢餓”，旨在表彰各階層人士爲戰勝世界飢餓所做出的努力，並敦促我們今後要更加團結一致，取得更多成績。
In 2009, the critical thresholdof one billion hungry people in the world was reached in large part due to soaringfood prices and the global economic crisis. The gravity of the silent hunger crisis is the result of decades of neglect of agriculture and under-investment in the sector. That is why on the eve of the “Hunger Summit” of heads of state and government held in Rome, in November 2009, FAO launched a petitionto reflect the moral outrage of the situation.
2009年，全世界飢餓人口超過10億大關，部分原因是由於糧價飆升以及全球經濟危機。無聲的飢餓問題之所以如此嚴重，是幾十年來忽視農業，對農業領域投資不足造成的。這就是爲什麼糧農組織在2009年11月國家元首和政府首腦羅馬“飢餓峯會”前夕發起了一場請願活動，對這一狀況發出道義上的憤怒呼聲。
This “1 billion hungry project” reaches out to persons to sign the anti-hunger petition and to work together to amplify the message that society has to take special care that no one goes hungry today. Over 1 million people have signed and the project is continuing.
“十億人在捱餓項目”廣泛聯繫各界羣衆，簽署反飢餓請願書，並共同努力向全社會加強宣傳，要對此採取特殊關注，確保當今世界沒有人捱餓。該項目還在進行中，簽署請願書的人數已超過100萬。
FAO has united with the popular world of professional sport. Together with the European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL) and other regional football leagues, a 2nd Match Day against Hunger will be organized in Europe from 22 to 24 October 2010 as part of the Professional Football against Hunger Solidaritycampaign.
糧農組織與廣受歡迎的職業體育界同心協力。與歐洲職業足球聯盟及其他區域足球聯盟一起，將於2010年10月22日至24日在歐洲舉辦第二屆“比賽日反飢餓”活動，作爲“職業足球戰勝飢餓團結運動”的一部分。The theme “United against hunger” highlights the need to launch a new green revolution, while emphasizing that the task of increasing food production is a job for everyone as is the goal of ensuring access to food. Partnerships with governments, research institutes and universities, financial institutions and regional development banks, farmers' organizations, pressure groups, the UN system, civil society and the private sector are needed to work together to achieve food security for all.
“團結起來，戰勝飢餓”這一主題強調必須發起一場新的綠色革命，同時強調提高糧食產量是我們每個人的共同任務，只有這樣才能確保人人有糧。與各國政府、科研院所、金融機構和區域發展銀行、農民組織、利益集團、聯合國系統、民間社會以及私營部門建立合作伙伴關係，一道攜手努力，才能全面實現糧食安全。
World food production will need to increase by 70 percent to feed a population of over nine billion people in 2050. With limited land, farmers will have to get greater yields out of the land already under cultivation.
世界糧食產量要增加70%，才能到2050年養活90多億人口。由於土地資源稀少，農民必須提高現有耕地的單產。
Smallholderfarmers and their families represent some 2.5 billion people, more than one-third of the global population, and it is their crucial contribution to increased food production that we want to highlight.
小規模農民及其家庭總人數約25億，超過全球人口的三分之一，我們要強調的正是他們爲糧食增產所做出的重要貢獻。
Collaboration among international organizations plays a key strategic role in directing global efforts to reach the international hunger reduction goals. It is only by working together that we can realize our common objective.
國際組織間合作可發揮戰略性作用，指導全球做出努力，實現國際減少飢餓人口的目標。我們只有團結協作，才能實現共同的目標。
In the reformed Committee on World Food Security (CFS), the UN system, member nations, representatives of civil society, farmers‘ organizations, the private sector, as well as international agricultural research institutions and international and regional financial institutions offer an inclusive international platform for policy convergence and the coordination of action and expertise in the fight against hunger in the world.
世界糧食安全委員會（糧安委）經過改革後，爲聯合國系統、各成員國、民間社會代表、農民組織、私營部門以及國際農業研究機構和國際及區域金融機構，提供了包容性國際平臺，確保政策銜接並協調全球抗擊飢餓過程中的行動和專長。
On this World Food Day 2010, when there are an estimated 925 million hungry people in the world, let us reflect on the future. Agriculture and food security are finally back to the international agenda. And, with political will, determination and persistence, more food can be sustainably produced and adequately distributed.
在我們迎來2010年世界糧食日之際，全世界大約還有9.25億人在捱餓。讓我們思考未來。農業和糧食安全最終回到了國際議程中。只要具備政治意願、決心和毅力，就能可持續生產出更多糧食，就能實現糧食合理分配。
United we can defeat hunger.
團結起來，就一定能戰勝飢餓。
Thank you.
謝謝。
