Feb. 2, 2021 Catholic News Service VATICAN CITY Combating hunger will require humility, protecting the environment and promoting social justice, Pope Francis said. Let us pay attention to what benefits everyone so that hunger is alleviated and the next generation can be left with a world that is a treasure and not a wasteland, he said in a message released Feb. 2. The pope s message was addressed to those taking part in the Fifth Global Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples Forum, sponsored by the International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD. The meeting was being held online Feb. 2-4 and again Feb. 15 and was focusing on the value of indigenous food systems: resilience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
