Feeding a growing world population is a global task, which can’t be tackled without peace, strong political cooperation between all stakeholders involved and all levels of societies and political institutions, from the local to the global. Important political declarations have been adopted at various summits and new money for investments in agriculture has been announced (L’Aquila or London G 20 summits, e.g.) – yet seldom delivered. No coherent and integrated approach has been reached in consensus how to reduce hunger and poverty, improve livelihoods and human health in rural areas, and reach an equitable socially, economically and ecologically sustainable development. Instead many authorities are dealing within national governments as well as within international organisations with the same topics, often parallel and with competing competences.
