"I am glad that Ms Zimmer’s report on a policy framework to help developing countries to address food security issues has been adopted. In fact, the world food crisis currently affecting almost 1 billion people constitutes not only an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, but also a serious threat to peace and security in the world. In view of the urgency, Member States of the Union need to take action immediately in order to release new investment for agriculture and rural development, to combat speculation on food products, to limit biofuels, to ensure that there are adequate world stocks, to eliminate their own trade barriers and to reduce debt in the worst-hit countries.
According to the forecasts, the world’s population is set to increase to an estimated 9 billion in 2050, which will increase demand for food by 70%. In response, the land must be available to all: the land titles of smallholders must be protected so as to prevent a new agricultural colonialism, in particular, through land grabbing, which, in just a few years, has become a shocking reality."@en1
