"Currently, 900 million people worldwide suffer from the hunger that accompanies abject poverty, and up to 2 billion cannot be certain of their food supply because they are living under the threat of poverty.
Since an increase of 70%, at the least, is needed to meet the needs of the growing global population, the agricultural sector must be strengthened. To this end, I support this important report on agriculture and the food supply. A strong, funded common agricultural policy must be developed to provide high quality food at a reasonable cost, as we face up to the demand for food in the EU and worldwide.
The school fruit and milk schemes and the programme for deprived persons must be strengthened. The people of the EU must have access to sufficient wholesome food, despite economic difficulties.
It is a matter of concern that global food stocks are not as plentiful as before and, considering the threat posed by climate change and natural disasters, I support what the report says on the establishment of a global system devoted to developing food stocks."@en1
