By 2023, the world’s population is due to hit 8 billion according to a recent UN survey. Finding a way to ensure that all those people and well-fed and well-nourished will be a major challenge of the 21st Century. One EU-funded project has been working hard to provide the policy solutions to this challenge, emphasising the need for a robust and stable world food system that can cater for everyone’s needs.
One of the biggest challenges facing global society today is the widespread and growing presence of hunger and food insecurity. Global food prices can swing wildly and the EU-funded FOODSECURE project has sought to address the resulting challenge of food and nutrition security (FNS), being particularly keen to provide concise guidance to EU policymakers on global FNS.
