  9. Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe arrives for the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Food Security Summit in Rome November 16, 2009. Government leaders and officials meet in Rome on Monday for a three-day U.N. summit on how to fight global hunger, but anti-poverty campaigners are already writing off the event as a missed opportunity. With the world's hungry topping one billion for the first time in history, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organisation had called the summit, hoping that leaders would commit to raising the share of official aid spent on agriculture to 17 percent of the total -- its 1980 level -- from 5 percent now. That would amount to $44 billion a year, up from $7.9 billion now.
