Agriculture & Food Security
Global food security has returned to the top of the transatlantic policymaking agenda as a result of the 2008 food crisis, which saw skyrocketing food prices and riots in countries around the world. Global economic downturns, while bringing further problems, temporarily relieve the upward pressure on food prices, but markets for agricultural commodities remain brittle and vulnerable to sudden shocks. On current trajectories, agricultural productivity growth will not keep pace with demand, and millions will continue to live without enough food or income.


In this podcast, GMF Senior Transatlantic Fellow Bruce Stokes interviews Pawel Swieboda, President of demosEUROPA in Warsaw, Poland, about how the European debt crisis will change EU-Asia relations.
