Question

ideas to improve food production

Answer 1

1. To decrease the risk of highly volatile prices, price regulation on commodities and larger cereal stocks should be created to buffer the tight markets of food commodities and the subsequent risks of speculation in markets.

2. Encourage removal of subsidies and blending ratios of frst generation biofuels, which would promote a shift to higher generation biofuels based on waste (if this does not compete with animal feed), thereby avoiding the capture of cropland by biofuels.

3. Reduce the use of cereals and food fsh in animal feed and develop alternatives to animal and fsh feed.

4. Support farmers in developing diversifed and resilient eco- agriculture systems that provide critical ecosystem services (wa- ter supply and regulation, habitat for wild plants and animals, genetic diversity, pollination, pest control, climate regulation), as well as adequate food to meet local and consumer needs.

5. Increased trade and improved market access can be achieved by improving infrastructure and reducing trade barriers.

6. Limit global warming, including the promotion of climate- friendly agricultural production systems and land-use policies at a scale to help mitigate climate change.

7. Raise awareness of the pressures of increasing population growth and consumption patterns on sustainable ecosystem functioning.
