In Rome, Italy, a three-day UN food summit has called for trade barriers to be reduced and food export bans to be lifted to ease increasing food prices.

The US and Brazil defended biofuel production, amid discussions of whether to scale back or push ahead with biofuels.
On Wednesday, the Islamic Development Bank donated $1.5 billion, as the UN acknowledged that food shortages would cost $15 billion to $30 billion a year to resolve.
