NEWS / UN food agency warns of looming health threats in Europe and Central Asia18 April 2012 – On the eve of a regional conference set to begin in Azerbaijan, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is warning that obesity and diet-related illnesses could emerge as major challenges for Europe and Central Asia, while hunger will only be a minor problem. Hunger currently affects less than five per cent of the population in most of the region but remains a significant concern in large parts of the Caucasus and Central Asia, according to a report to be presented at FAO’s bi-annual Regional Conference for Europe and Central Asia. The report predicts that the percentage of people experiencing hunger in the Caucasus and Central Asia will drop from nine to two per cent by 2030 and then to one per cent by 2050. It also warns that as diets shift from cereals towards higher consumption of meat and dairy, the risk factors behind chronic, non-communicable diseases could rise in parts of the region. In addition to diet, the report says that lifestyle habits, poverty and medical care also influence obesity, disease and death rates, and that these increased risk levels will place greater pressure on healthcare facilities in the poorer countries of Central Asia than in the EU. The conference, set to begin in Baku tomorrow with government ministers and officials from 53 countries and the European Union, will also look at what agricultural policies can help boost crop production to both address food security as well as combat rural poverty. FAO notes that, in rural areas of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, crop production by small farmers, especially for cereal, falls well below potential yields. Another issue to be discussed at the conference is how to improve agriculture’s environmental sustainability, according to the agency, which notes that in the EU, the use of chemical fertilizers is set to grow by 20 per cent by 2050. At the same time, agriculture in the Caucasus and Central Asian countries is making intensive use of water resources, often inefficiently. “Up to half of irrigation water is lost en route to fields because of dilapidated systems of water delivery, putting enormous stress on water supplies,” says the agency. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=41806&Cr=food&Cr1=security |
