"Although we do not agree with all the points made, we chose to give our approval to this resolution, as it underlines the importance of principles that we consider fundamental to a real fight against world hunger, particularly:
Emphasising that ‘the fight against hunger must be based on recognition of the right to food sovereignty’
Recognising ‘the right of local people in every country to control farmland and other natural resources vital to their food security’.
The resolution also draws attention to the importance of agriculture in combating hunger and stresses the importance of farmers’ incomes. It remains to be seen whether, in the future, this Parliament will live up to what it has approved here today, or whether, as is often the case, it makes these good points, but later, when it needs to actually put them into practice, goes back on its word and approves legislation that violates these principles.
We should not forget that the successive reforms of the common agricultural policy, following the liberalisation of agricultural markets undertaken by the World Trade Organisation and coinciding only with the interests of the big agri-food companies, have contributed to the impoverishment of the global agricultural sector. Agricultural production should be used primarily to feed people, not to benefit export monopolies."@en1
