Food production

Good food, good company...

(i) Food production

A. Agriculture, food production and food security

So local food production is out.

Table 13. Food production and consumption

Meanwhile, food production had become industrial. Industrial.

Food production is not enough and diversified.

Meanwhile, food production had become industrial. Industrial.

I like good company, good fun, and good food.

They were responsible for 60 to 80 per cent of food production and were involved in the entire food chain, from production, to marketing.

Per capita food production is up by a third.

Women also make a large contribution to food production.

Food production or marketing means all operations in the production of food (other than planting and breeding) and activities such as the gathering, purchase, processing, storage, transport, display, supply and sale of food.

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

The world today needs to advance its production of food.

Sure, I'm still breathing. The food stinks and so does your company.

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.

The chapter on climate change and food production surveys recent scientific literature, with a view to assessing the overall impacts that global warming could have on food production.

Producers or marketers of food means all units or individuals involved in food production or marketing, including workers' dining halls and food vendors.

Aims To encourage community participation in the production of food to improve the quality of the diet to supplement food by growing one apos s own to improve overall expenditure on food to encourage small scale productive alternatives to develop appropriate technologies for food production

Our vision is local manufacturing, like the local food movement, for production.

And we know that the issue is not just production of food.

They want to increase food production by growing new kinds of rice.

Subsidies by rich nations foster over production and thus lead to dumping food on local markets at prices below production.

(ii) To note the emerging scientific evidence on climate change and food production.

Production of live birds is either done by the company itself or growers under contract, with the company supplying all the inputs and taking the birds.

Some of the things that emerge from it are local food projects, like community supported agriculture schemes, urban food production, creating local food directories, and so on.

Food security went beyond the problem of production, since it involved access and distribution, including international trade in food and other commodities.

The main reasons for the food shortage were continuous insecurity and a 45 per cent decline in food production owing to drought.

The use of biofuels means that less land will be available for food production.

More manual labour, more farm work, and local production of goods, food and services.

His delegation welcomed the renewed focus on the use of fresh water resources for food and agricultural production and the analysis of the impact of the Uruguay Round on food production, including agro industrial products.

The South African study proved that the production of biofuels would not reduce food production in African countries, but rather would increase it.

The perversity of the first alternative is obvious there is no surplus food production in the world. Whoever wishes to grow bio fuels on land that was previously used for food production must recognize that this would increase food prices, harming the poorest of the poor.

Meanwhile, rich countries agricultural subsidies and tariffs have undoubtedly undermined food production in developing countries. However, cutting farm subsidies will increase food prices, at least initially, while reducing agricultural tariffs alone will not necessarily lead to an increase in food production in poor countries without complementary support.

While food security remains a national problem, the production of food commodities has increased. This has reduced the need for food aid which was previously provided to the general population.

Multiple benefits would accrue to human health, poverty eradication, food production and protection of biodiversity.

Besides fossil fuel decline, there are several threats to the current system of food production

Even though tonnes of food are produced in Republika Srpska either in industrial production or in small farms, considerable amounts of food are imported.

Supervision of production and sales of food (including drinking water, as the most important food component) is carried out by sanitary and veterinary inspectors.

November Ad hoc Group Meeting on Resources for Increased Production and Utilization of Non Conventional Food Resources as a Source of Food in Africa

28. While the world had seen an overall increase in food production, that had not always been translated into more food for the poorest.

The rising costs of food, declining food security, lower production costs and cutbacks in public subsidies on basic foodstuffs are also obstacles to the realization of the right to adequate food.

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.
