And during harvest, put it back with interest, food interest.

Despite a reported bumper harvest in 2004, large areas of the country remain severely affected by drought and food insecurity.

The use of space technology yields information that can assist in monitoring cereal production and providing early warning of trends in food availability, particularly in drought prone areas.

21. Achieving global food security also required increases in food production, particularly in many of the low income food deficit countries.

They said that you are beginning to hoard a lot of rice

Rural development increasing food output and incomes

With the lean season (when food is traditionally scarce) now well under way, an increasing number are relying on external food aid.

They are often also responsible for producing an income or food crops.

This year's rice harvest is poor and prices are high

At present, the Agricultural Development Bank of China has invested 5.2 billion yuan to support the autumn grain crops purchase by various types of grain purchase subjects.

Agricultural policies should particularly aim at increasing food production, improving access to food by low income people and enhancing the income generating potential of agriculture.

And we said, listen, during the lean season, take the food out.

120 major grain purchase subjects have arranged nearly 300 purchase networks in Jilin Province to ensure that the main food supply regions are fully covered and leave no blank spots for the purchase of funds.

(b) Liberalizing food prices and restrictive policies with respect to incomes

107. In order to achieve food security, better distribution of income was indispensable.

Food aid is viewed at WFP as a means to achieve food security.

More specifically, the services address issues related to post harvest systems in the food sector, covering post harvest technology, food availability and accessibility, food safety and quality, and improved market access for developing countries.

Global grain reserves were below the level considered necessary to guarantee world food security, prices has skyrocketed and low income developing countries with food shortages had been forced to pay between 3.4 and 4 billion more in recent times for their grain imports.

10. World Food Programme (WFP)

230. Estimates of post harvest food loss have varied over the years.

Nowadays, many families spend most if not all of their income on food.

(ii) A position paper was submitted to FAO on the FAO Special Programme on Food Production in Support of Food Security in Low Income, Food Deficit Countries (LIFDCs) in November 1994, on the eve of the launching of this programme

WFP has correspondingly increased food distribution, delivering food assistance to over 1 million beneficiaries in July and increasing the number of food drop locations in the region.

Other reforms included the introduction of cost recovery requirements at the Lokichokio base camp and the standardization of both food and non food assessment methodologies.

So add in five percent, 10 percent more food.

FAO launched the Special Programme for Food Security to help low income, food deficit countries increase food production and productivity as rapidly as possible, primarily through the widespread adoption by farmers of improved production techniques.

Needs and rights relating to food and food security

It is not clear whether it refers to food aid in kind, economic aid which could be used for the purchase of food, trading privileges which help countries to earn revenues that could be used to purchase food, provision of assistance to build up the economy and ensure long term food security, or sanctions that include measures that diminish the capacity to purchase food.

The food subsidies cover an important part of the calorie intake of the lowest income groups.

In order to improve food security, especially in some developing countries that remain food insecure, there is a need to significantly increase food supply and improve food distribution through more sustainable agricultural systems.

The World Food Programme (WFP) was in the forefront of mobilizing and distributing food to some 50,000 earthquake victims.

Fifty per cent of the overall WFP expenditure for food transport was spent in Africa.

(i) Food production

(iii) Food distribution

WFP will provide the returnees with a three month food ration as well as non food items.

38. According to FAO statistics, 12 Eastern European Countries were among the low income countries suffering from the food shortage.
