lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, by the time I sit down, 16 people will have died of starvation. That is about the size of that part of the Chamber over there. Every day 36 000 people die of starvation around the world because they do not have enough food to eat. The European Union was self-sufficient in food until recently. Now it is importing food. It is actually taking food away from the poorest people’s mouths. I am told that the EU is importing from the rest of the world an amount of food that would take about 35 million hectares of land to grow. We should be self-sufficient in food, and we should help the developing countries to be self-sufficient in food. There is an answer to all this. In the 1960s in India, there was a revolution in green agriculture under Professor Borlaug. People said that India would starve. India did not starve. Brazil is now self-sufficient in food. We can do it if we have the will."@en1
