Public consultation on food security

The European Commission is considering revising its approach to agriculture and food security in order to propose a policy framework for the European Community (EC) and the EU Member States.

A public consultation is now open to gather orientations and views from relevant stakeholders regarding the proposed rationale, scope, strategic objectives, approach and implementation of such a policy framework for the EU.

The consultation is open to any interested stakeholder. Individuals, organisations and countries are invited to send their contributions, in the form of answers to some or all the questions presented in the issues paper.

UKCDS is reviewing the issues paper and consulting members about a response.

Submissions due by 9 January 2010.
