The G20, which is attended by the world's leading economies, has been "deeply concerned" about the global food crisis, according to a draft of the final joint declaration of the summit in Indonesia.

World food security has been "exacerbated by current conflicts and tensions", have indicated the members of the G20, who have called for the use of "all available tools" to fight the crisis and "protect the most vulnerable from hunger" .

In this field, the countries have also reaffirmed that subsidies for fossil fuels be eliminated "in the medium term".
