György Hölvényi: the African food crisis threatens the security of Europe
The African food crisis threatens the security of Europe – asserted György Hölvényi, a member of the European Parliament (EP) of the Christian Democratic People’s Party (KDNP) at the meeting of the EP’s development committee on the African food crisis.
The politician therefore called for effective EU action and concrete steps to support local small farmers in Africa. György Hölvényi highlighted in his statement sent to MTI: effective EU action in the field of introducing modern agricultural technologies, increasing agricultural production and facilitating farmers’ access to the market is migration an important means of stopping it.
The Russian-Ukrainian war, unpredictable climate conditions, conflicts, rising energy prices and the effects of the coronavirus pushed Africa into a serious food crisis, he pointed out.
