"Food prices have been rising significantly in recent years, not so much because of the laws of supply and demand, but above all because of speculation. The fact is that these increases primarily affect poorer people who have to spend more than half their income on food. It is unacceptable some should profit from the hunger of others, whether in Europe or in developing countries. Citizens have a right to food security, a precondition of which is access to healthy food for all. Food shortages have a number of causes: examples include the wrong spatial planning and agricultural support policies, and climate change. It is therefore crucial that the EU support farmers in cultivating their land and producing the necessary food products. It is unacceptable that consumers should pay a lot and producers earn little, while speculators reap the rewards. Climate change must also be an EU priority in the interest of food security."@en1
