A Need to Re-commit to Global Food Security - Interaction G8 NGO Coordination Group (Etats-Unis)

InterAction

Recommendations

InterAction’s G8 NGO Coordination Group urges the U.S. Executive branch to take a strong leadership role at the June 2009 G8 Summit and build on their 2008 commitments on food, hunger and agriculture. We request these points to be included in the G8 communiqué :

1. Support the implementation of the High-Level Task Force on Food Security:Comprehensive Framework for Action and the Inclusive Global Partnership on Agriculture and Food Security.

2. Recommit to the 2004 Sea Island G8 agreement to raise sustainable agricultural productivity in food insecure countries and promote rural development, with a special focus on smallholder farmers and Africa, especially the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP).

3. Recommit to the Gleneagles trade and aid-for-trade commitments in such ways that both support agricultural development and provide tangible benefits for hungry and poor families in rural areas of developing countries :
- Redouble efforts to achieve a successful conclusion to the entire Doha Development Agenda ; and
- Open markets more widely to trade in agricultural goods, stimulate agricultural production in the developing world, reduce trade distorting domestic agricultural subsidies, and eliminate export subsidies with a credible end date.
