The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's (UNCTAD's) has warned that continuous rural
poverty, persistent hunger and growing populations, must be treated as a
collective crisis, or the world will face economic imbalance, NaijaAgroNet report.
UNCTAD made this known in its trade and environment report 2013
sub titled, "Wake up before it is too late: Make agriculture truly
sustainable now for food security in a changing climate" and said that
urgent and far-reaching action is needed before climate change begins to cause
major disruptions to agriculture, especially in developing countries.
The report pinpointed that vulnerability to increased frequency
and intensity of droughts and floods in East Africa with a population of
approximately 130 million people has continued to suffocate the region's
economic growth due to the imbalance between climate change, food security and
trade.
The Minister of State for Water and Environment, Flavia Munaaba,
said that food availability is already being affected through reduced
production, poor storage and inefficient processing and stressed that there was
need to adapt policies that will mitigate the effects of climate change to
prevent the disastrous effect of food security and livelihoods of rural people.
"It is not good for you to put a policy in place and don't
implement it. A good policy is verified through implementation. We want
policies that we can see on the ground. The EAC is not operating in utopia. We
need a climate resilient EAC that will address climate change in the context of
green economy, job creations, sustainability and inclusiveness," said Prof
Godwell Nhamo, a Climate Change and Green Economy specialist from the
University of South Africa.
NaijaAgroNet noted that the forum was organised
under the Promoting Agriculture, Climate and Trade linkages in the East African
Community (PACT EAC) project, a regional initiative led by CUTS International in
collaboration with other partners and found that despite commitments to
implement trade policy measures to ensure regional food security, government
interventions often disrupt competitive market conditions and encourage corrupt
practices.

Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
