EU plans farm sector shake-up in face of record food prices
My review:
Basically, this article talks about international relations, agriculture, intergovernmental organisations, European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural development and price inflation of food products.
Though many are against price inflation, I felt that recent increases in commodity prices are a reflection of global demand and supply conditions and represent an opportunity for EU farmers to benefit from a long-awaited and overdue recovery in farmgate prices.
Commodity price increases do not represent the threat to consumers, to the economy or to developing countries. Also,this situation translate to higher farmgate prices and become good news not only for EU farmers but also for the rural economy, as it could mean more resources becoming available for countryside management, more investment in farm infrastructure, and fewer farming families being forced to leave the land.
