Honduras: 8 Million Face Hunger in Worst-Ever Agricultural Crisis

  • 9 years ago
Campesino organizations warn that 8 million Hondurans could face hunger as a result of the country's worst-ever agricultural crisis. They say the responsibility falls squarely on the current government, which with its neoliberal policies has abandoned the agricultural sector and small producers to favor large transnationals. Authorities attribute the crisis to the drought affecting the region, while campesino leaders say the government is underestimating its scope. Gerardo Torres reports from Tegucigalpa. teleSUR
