"Food security is a basic human right, and it is achieved only when a person’s dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life are met.
In particular, looking ahead to the common agricultural policy reform planned for 2013, the support given to European farmers must always enable them to meet food safety and environmental standards in full. Despite the efficiency of European production, around 80 million people still live below the poverty line today, and many of them are helped through food aid programmes. A strong CAP will preserve farmers’ economic role as food producers, but it will also guarantee the livelihood and jobs of more than 28 million citizens employed in Europe’s rural areas.
If we factor in the economic crisis, too, direct payments to farmers will have to be maintained after 2013 in order to stabilise their incomes and help them withstand market volatility. Lastly, specific initiatives will be taken to encourage young people to enter the farming sector, such as providing easier access to loans and promoting professional training and specific technical education, while ‘good agricultural practices’ will be disseminated across Europe."@en1
