lpv:translated text	"The lack of food to meet the food requirements of the population is a serious global problem which also concerns the EU, where 110 million people are living below the poverty line and over 15% of its workers have an income of less than 60% of the average income in the country in which they live. At global level, based on FAO 925 data, millions of people are at risk of malnutrition. In our opinion, food wastage is not the main cause of the global food problem; not that this means that it does not exist. The report conceals the cause of the problem, which is the capitalist method of production, which is not interested in meeting food needs; it is only interested in the profitability of the monopolies and in strengthening large producers at the expense of poor farmers. What food is produced and in what quantities depends on whether the multinationals will make a profit and is not designed to address global hunger. That is why the wish-list in the report cannot address the problem. The only definitive solution to the global food problem is to overturn the capitalist method of production and to replace it with the socialist system, in which food is produced on the basis of grassroots needs, not for the purpose of profit."@en1
