lpv:translated text	"Security of food supply is a major concern today. There are 79 million people in the EU living below the poverty threshold and during the winter of last year food aid was given to 16 million people in the EU. Since the cost of food is at a new high level for the seventh month in a row and since the volatility in prices is creating serious problems in the food chain, more people will have difficulty finding wholesome food at a reasonable cost. Common agricultural policy (CAP) programmes, like the Programme for Deprived Persons, are of critical importance for providing food. Programmes of this kind must be supported and prompt, long-term measures adopted to ensure security of food supply in the EU and throughout the world. Currently 30% of the food produced in the world is wasted. This is unacceptable, immoral wastage and must be curbed. A strong agricultural industry, a strong CAP and a food supply chain in which every effort is made to curb food wastage are essential for tackling the food supply challenge."@en1
