"Two years after the much-trumpeted launch of the Global Partnership for Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition by the Heads of State at the G8 summit in L’Aquila in 2009, we are still waiting to see the initial results. Commodities prices continue to spiral, the inhabitants of the Horn of Africa are dying of starvation and the world financial crisis has distracted us from the basic right to food for all. Yet the EU and the 27 Member States remain the leading political and financial stakeholders, and the discussions on a new common food security policy are a step in the right direction. The question is whether it will be able to tackle the challenges linked to food security: unbridled population growth, pressure on natural resources and the disastrous consequences of global warming for agriculture. It is clear that we need to establish a political framework within the EU for combating world hunger: it really is vital that we make this a top priority. Only then will it be possible to feed all of humanity tomorrow, with less water, less land and a further 3 billion people to add to the current 6 billion."@en1
