"Food insecurity is challenging the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and less developed countries.
According to Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates, the number of people suffering from hunger in 2010 was 925 million, down from 1 023 million in 2009, but still more than the number of undernourished people in 2008, which was about 815 million. New challenges, including the growing threat of food speculation, climate change, global land acquisitions, biofuels, loss of biodiversity, land degradation and pressures on water resources, have contributed to further compromise the state of food security in the world.
In this context, the current problems of hunger and malnutrition have led to a rethink of the food security approach, not only in the EU, but also at the global level. The report adopted today urges the European Union and the Member States to stand behind their commitments to fight poverty and hunger worldwide within international organisations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation."@en1
