High Quality Affordable Food Sample Clauses

High Quality Affordable Food. Food is strategic for prosperity and well-being of the Mediterranean region, and all forms of sustainable agriculture are necessary to meet the challenge of food quality and security. The renewed position of food security at recent G8 and G20 Summits is an acknowledgment that a more sophisticated coordination at global level is needed to meet the new challenge of food security, which is an upside-down scenario in comparison to what prevail in the last years of the 20th century, when food seemed relatively plentiful. It is certainly no coincidence that the “Arab Spring” was initially triggered as riots for bread, a social symbol as well as a staple food. Food security and affordable food quality is a serious emerging problem in the Mediterranean, particularly in rural arid and semi-arid areas, the latter being the most vulnerable regions embedding multiple challenges and strong nexus with water, health, energy, demographic growth, climatic change and environmental threats. Food in the Mediterranean is a political concern, being no longer only a question of self-sufficiency but rather a problem of equal access to food. In the northern Mediterranean Countries, the local production contributes largely to supplies, whereas in the southern and eastern Mediterranean countries, with the exception of Turkey, supplies are provided to a very large extent through trade and even in some cases food aid.

In response to the several global socio-economic and environmental pressures there is an increased demand for high quality food products obtained in an ecologically sustainable way, calling for a substantial change of approach to agricultural production in rural areas. The above conditions must be seen as an opportunity and not only a constraint. It is urgent that Europe and Southern Mediterranean Countries pool together their resources of talent, knowledge and cultural heritage to develop “smart” rural arid and semi-arid areas, providing food job opportunities and competitiveness, for young entrepreneurs and women, while ensuring the recovery and preserving the eco-system. Specific issues have been identified (European Commission, 2012; CRIA, 2012; CIHEAM, 2012) and need actions: ‐ Unsustainable food production in terms of ecosystem and nutrition. ‐ Limited food culture and food sovereignty, calling for better...
