Graziano is one of the architects of Brazil's much-lauded Zero Hunger program, which over the past eight years has helped lift 19 million Brazilians out of poverty. He has said one of his main priorities was to decentralize FAO's work to the regional and subregional levels, since that's where hunger is fought. "You solve food security problems at your village, at your town at your neighborhood (level)
-- not at the global level," he said. "Nobody eats at the global level. You eat in the restaurant, in the cantina, at your house. That's where you need to provide those answers." ___ FAO is at http://www.fao.org/
