"Today, famine and food insecurity are two of the world’s major health issues which have not yet been eradicated. In 2010 an estimated 925 million people or 13.6 % of the world population did not have enough to eat. The worst-affected tend to be women and children. For years the European Union has been working with its major international partners, signatories of the United Nations Food Assistance Convention, to put an end to this. Its annual commitment in terms of emergency food aid to developing countries totals EUR 200 million. With the implementation of the new agreement on food assistance, the European Union will no longer solely provide support in the form of emergency food parcels. This aid could also consist of vouchers or seed in order to precipitate food self-sufficiency for the worst-affected rural populations, and thus avoid any long-term dependency on international food aid."@en1
