A growing consensus on the importance of agriculture in achieving the Millennium Development Goals has culminated with the announcement that the World Bank will increase its funding to agriculture to between $6 and $8 billion a year over the next three years. This is a big increase from the $4.1 billion pledged annually before 2008 and shows a transition from prioritizing food aid as a means to dealing with food insecurity issues, to addressing the longer-term solution of refueling agricultural development programmes.
Jacques Diouf of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation provided a review of the global food challenge, saying, The current dramatic hunger situation is the result of neglect of agriculture in development policies over the past three decades. It is time to tackle the root causes of food insecurity by adopting lasting political, economic, financial, and technical solutions. We know what should be done and how to do it. Success stories do exist in Africa, in Asia and in Latin America. These experiences need to be scaled up and replicated.
In its statement, “Keeping the Promise: United to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals”, the UN General Assembly agreed to a series of policies and actions that put much emphasis on boosting agricultural development in order to meet the 2015 target. The commitments include:
* Increasing the growth rate of agricultural productivity in developing countries through promoting the development and dissemination of appropriate, affordable and sustainable agricultural technology, as well as the transfer of such technologies on mutually agreed terms, and supporting agricultural research and innovation, extension services and agricultural education in developing countries.
* Increasing the sustainable production and augmenting the availability and quality of food including through long-term investment, access of smallholder farmers to markets, credit and inputs, improved land-use planning, crop diversification, commercialization and development of an adequate rural infrastructure and enhanced market access for developing countries.
* Addressing environmental challenges to sustainable agriculture development such as water quality and availability, deforestation and desertification, land and soil degradation, dust, floods, drought and unpredictable weather patterns and loss of biodiversity, and promoting the development and dissemination of appropriate, affordable and sustainable agricultural technologies and the transfer of such technologies on mutually agreed terms.
All this comes at time when support could not be more critical. Joanna Kerr, CEO of ActionAid, addressed the General Assembly, saying, In 2009, rich countries pledged ‘decisive action to free humankind from hunger’, including ‘substantially increasing aid to agriculture and food security’ after years of decline. It is unacceptable that these grand promises have so far yielded only $ 6 million in new money – in a year in which more than $15 trillion was spent bailing out financial companies.
The Farming First coalition welcomes the inclusion of agriculture in the proposed outcomes of the General Assembly discussions on Millennium Development Goals. To translate good intentions into real impacts on the ground, governments will need to provide a clearer path to action, greater transparency in how to achieve it, and greater partnerships, including with the agriculture sector.

What the World Bank said and FAO promsied has almost zero implication fro Mizoram. But in India and many, many other countries, problem is big. Farmer have to sell rice or wheat at very low prices while buyers (consumaers) pay 2-10 times. Why, the laws still favour middlemen. Famrers have no money to store and transport their products to consumers. Even if they have, the law prohibit them to sell rice, wheat and other staple foods to consumers directly. They can sell only at wholesale markets (mandis). You may not believe this. mandis are supposed to help the farmers (to ensure stsbility of food prices). But is does not help. But the law remains untouched.
Then come supermarkets. They could have bought food from famrers at decent price and sold to consumers cutting out most other middlemen. But see how much opposition such supermarkets face. They could not make any progress althuogh several ministers support them. They are not permitted to buy rice and wheat and merket them.
Look cloesely. The government is concerned only with middle class. Farmers be damned, seems the policy.

Let the needy benefited the scheme(nlup) followed by proper training.
Lest, in vain. Moral reformation or moral readiness must be the key point to success.
If i’m not mistaken, agriculture is the main source and survival of the people living in developing country.
