The need for food security floor 19.12.2012 Financial Chronicle
The concept of “Food Security Fl­oor” was proposed by the high-level panel of experts (HLPE), which provides scientific advice to the committee on world food security (CFS) of the UN. I am the current chairman of HLPE and our proposal is the adoption of a bottom line approach in public policies relating to achieving the goal of sustainable food security for all in every country. The food security floor will indicate the minimum steps needed for ensuring that every child, woman and man will have an opportunity for a healthy and productive life through access to balanced diet, clean drinking water, sanitation and primary healthcare. It is in this background we should examine the National Food Security Bill 2011, currently under the consideration of a parliamentary committee.

UN's global agriculture report on track: small farmers need investment and support 6.12.2012 Oxfam International RSS main feed
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization has just published it's The State of Food and Agriculture, 2012 report, on investment in global agriculture. The FAO says that in developing countries, farmers themselves are the largest investors in agriculture and governments and donors have a special responsibility to support them. This is our reaction: Oxfam's GROW campaign spokesperson, Luca Chinotti said: " The FAO is sending exactly the right message to governments and donors today. Small-holder farmers are the real "blue chip" investors in global agriculture. They need to be treated as such. They need better support to make the most of the massive investment they make every day into growing our food. This is vital to tackle poverty and ensure global food security in the face of worsening climate change. Small-scale farmers need more financial help but crucially they better policies to help them access more credit and training and better information. They need better regulated, more stable ...
