CropLife International Perspective - Food Security (31 May 2010)
Issue:benefits, communication, crop protection, deleted, food, growing food, sustainability, sustainable agriculture, sustainable development
CropLife International believes that the task of feeding the world can be achieved. Despite the challenges posed by population growth, rising urbanisation, changing diets and climate change, food security is still fully achievable. Its achievement does, however, require genuine political will and coordinated, targeted policies, as well as significantly increased investment.
For this investment to make an impact, policies must address six key issues: agricultural productivity, global and local trade, sustainable resource management, improved infrastructure, rural poverty and fostering innovation.

CropLife Perspective - Water Security (8 Sep 2010)
Issue:communication, crop protection, deleted, plant biotechnology, water
CropLife International believes that in global, regional and national plans to address food security, water availability must be considered a priority.
