On the third and fourth of this month, 45 ministers from around the world convened in Paris, France, for a two-day conference. The primary goal of this conference was to determine the role that Departments of Agriculture around the world can play in combating the problem of food scarcity.
Rising food prices are affecting the world’s poor as food insecurity increases. These ministers stated that it is the responsibility of world governments to change crop and livestock farming practices in order to reduce food prices.
According to them, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine contributes significantly to global food price increases. Droughts in Europe, China, and North America are being blamed for the global food crisis.
The world’s governments working together to combat hunger can make it easier for countries to produce enough food. An increase in global food production can lower the price of food sold in stores.
The ministers stressed the importance of changing the way food is produced and increasing the amount of food produced by the world.
The Minister of Agriculture in France, Charles McConnologue, led the discussion, which was accompanied by ministers including Thoko Didiza of South Africa, Marie Claude Bibeau of Canada and Damien O’Connor of New Zealand.
“Our cooperation as a whole in the world is very important in these difficult times,” McConnologue said at the conference’s start. “One country can learn from another and help each other to grow the products that the people of the world want.”
During this discussion, Ireland boasted that it is willing to collaborate with any country to share its agricultural experience and knowledge. Ireland is the world’s leading milk producer and has a high standard in comparison to other countries. The dairy cows in this region, including Jersey, are from Ireland, and their products are trusted around the world.
Canada’s Marie Claude Bibeau has called for increased efforts to assist Ukraine in its war. “It is necessary for all of us in the world to strengthen our support for Ukraine, not by using weapons or giving weapons, but by producing enough food for the people of the world,” Bibeau said.
Global energy issues, changing climate, and unstable politics are just a few of the issues impeding global food production efforts. These ministers stated that political leaders, business leaders, farmers, religions, and society in general should work together to address the issue of global food production decline.
