Food Insecurity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he is taking steps to represent the interests of British farmers in global food security discussions.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
Investment in global food security supports stable, sustainable and resilient global food markets to the benefit of British farmers, exporters, and consumers. For example, for each £1 the UK invests in CGIAR, the world’s leading agricultural science and innovation organisation, UK farmers receive between £1.60 and £2.40 in benefits driven by increased UK productivity in the production of wheat, dairy, beef and pulses.
