"I welcome this timely report which addresses the role agriculture can play in mitigating the impact of climate change. The FAO report ‘The State of Food and Agriculture 2009’ underlines the necessity of livestock in food production worldwide. In order to meet the global demand for food, it is essential to maintain our current production levels. We will, however, need to find a balance between providing sufficient food for the world’s population, while producing this food in a way that does not lead to increased negative impacts on the world’s climate. The part that European farmers can play in this will come into clearer focus in the ongoing debate on the future shape of the CAP post-2013 and it is essential that the EU assists our farmers in striking this balance.
I fully support this EP report’s call to compensate farmers for their efforts in reducing emissions and to provide support in adapting to climate mitigation measures. The report’s proposal for the development of a strategy at EU level to address the impact of adverse weather conditions on EU agriculture is very welcome and indeed very pertinent, considering the exceptionally harsh climatic conditions experienced by farmers over the past months."@en1
