Britain, Germany and Spain have already pledged extra funds, and Sheeran says she is hopeful Japan, Canada and the U.S. will approve new donations as well. What's more, Sheeran says, "I would say over the medium to long term I am an optimist because the world knows how to grow enough food." The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that cereal production will once again increase in 2008, and bring at least a modest reduction in food...
