III. SELECTED ISSUES OF AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

8. World Food Summit

The Conference at its 28th Session decided to convene the World Food Summit from 13 to 17 November 1996, at FAO Headquarters. It is expected that the Summit will adopt a Policy Statement and a Plan of Action for Universal Food Security.

A draft of these documents is presented to the Regional Conference for review so as to ensure that issues of particular relevance to the region are adequately addressed.

To facilitate this review a separate document provides an assessment of the food security situation in Europe and discusses in some detail those issues which are specific to the region. It also contains a proposal for regional food security targets which, once approved by the Regional Conference, will form, together with those for other regions, the basis for the World Food Summit targets.

In reviewing the draft Policy Statement and Plan of Action, and the regional food security targets a number of provisional technical background papers will be available to the Conference. These papers provide the substantive basis for the main policy topics and approaches outlined in the draft Plan of Action.

9. Sustainable Agricultural Development in Europe with Particular Focus on the Mediterranean Area

Soil degradation, scarcity of water and desertification affect to a varying degree several countries of the region, in particular in the Mediterranean area. There is a need for sound policies and strategies to address these problems at national and regional levels. The document under this item discusses policy options for agricultural development in drought-prone ecosystems, strategies for water utilization and resource conservation and their sustainable use and makes proposals for regional and interregional cooperation including possible areas for FAO support.

10. Structural Reform Process in Central and Eastern European Countries

The Regional Conference at its Seventeenth and Eighteenth Sessions had discussed policy changes affecting European agriculture with particular emphasis to the restructuring efforts of Central and Eastern European countries. The present update has the purpose to review progress made and to highlight positive experiences and difficulties encountered in the transformation of farm structures, in land privatization and in the introduction of market systems for agriculture commodities.
