A3B-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 28, 2003 Hunger, Poverty Are Focus Of International Conference SACRAMENTO, Calif. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ann Vene man opened June 23 the first-ever Ministerial Conference and Expo on Agricultural Science and Technolo gy that has brought ministers of ag riculture, health and environment from over 120 nations to Sacramen to for three days of dialogue on the role of science and technology in re ducing hunger and poverty in the developing world. “The World Food Summit goal is to reduce global hunger by half by the year 2015,” Veneman said. “At this conference, we will look at tech nology’s role in speeding our pro gress towards feeding the more than 800 million people who suffer from hunger and malnutrition, providing nutrition to the malnourished, and lifting those in need out of poverty.” In a video taped address. Presi dent Bush said, “The United States has identified three priorities for re ducing global hunger; increasing ag ricultural productivity, ending fam ine and improving nutrition. Science and technology hold great promise in meeting these priorities. By combining new technology and good policy, all the nations of the world can work together to increase living standards.” Veneman said that the answers are not always the latest, biggest and most expensive technologies. “Many conventional technologies already widely used for decides can be adopted to bring significaht pro ductively gains to the world’s poor est countries,” she said. “This may include a good system of farmer ex tension services, better nutrient management, contour plowing, im proved seed varieties or simple irri gation.

Many technologies today are coming from scientists in the developing world, for farmers in the developing world.” However, Veneman said technol ogy alone is not a solution. “It is merely a tool. Without supportive policies and regulations, its benefits will not be fully realized,” she said. “Policies that promote free markets and good governance produce eco nomic growth. Taken together, technologies along with supportive policies and regulations can acceler ate agricultural productivity and economic growth to help alleviate hunger and poverty.” Veneman said that the U.S. is en gaged in promoting sustainable eco nomic development that is environ mentally friendly throughout the world. President Bush has com mitted the U.S. to a number of ini tiatives to address hunger and pov erty that include: • The Millennium Challenge Ac count that provides for a $5 billion (50 percent) increase in U.S. devel opment assistance over three years, the largest increase in U.S. foreign assistance in 40 years. • The new U.S. Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief that will direct $l5 billion over the next five years to battle the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with the focus on Africa and the Caribbean. • The U.S. has committed nearly $1 billion to an initiative to provide clean drinking water to SO million people in the developing world.
