Minister Walker at APEC Ministerial Meeting: “Chile has a unique opportunity to provide its food products to the world over the next few decades.”
Food Security Week, which began on August 15 in the Los Lagos Region of Chile, closed with the approval of a final statement by the representatives of the 21 APEC economies.
Agriculture Minister Antonio Walker said that, we will need 70% more food by 2050, and we must produce it with less water, less land and in much more adverse climate conditions, so we are facing a tremendous challenge.
The Asia-Pacific region faces major challenges in the area of food security and must find ways to provide the growing global population with sufficient safe, nutritional quality food. The growing impact that global changes such as climate change, the increase in natural disasters and the degradation of land, soil and the marine habitat are having on food systems. So, shared the actions around promoting sustainable food systems; adopting innovation, emerging technologies and digital opportunities; taking advantage of associativity and improving food value chains and trade; and strengthening rural development as a place for opportunities.
