It saves lives  (Millennium Development Goals Quotes) Food prices are often kept artificially high. The result is that the Millennium Development Goals set out by the United Nations at the start of the new millennium are not being reached. Fine words have not yet been turned into deeds  (Millennium Development Goals Quotes)
