Only 7 of global rice production is traded internationally, while only 18 of wheat production and 13 of maize is exported.

Huge agriculture subsidies in the US and the European Union have weakened agriculture in the developing world, where too little international assistance was directed at improving agriculture productivity.

The result is a grain yield (for example, maize) that is roughly one third less than what could be achieved with better farm inputs.

The standard daily ration is 150 300 grams (5 10 ounces) of corn or rice (equivalent to roughly four slices of dry bread), depending on the location.

We must also strengthen food safety from production to consumption, including improvements in our understanding of the interaction between the food system and human health, particularly zoonotic diseases and the effects of pesticides. Research to identify alternative energy sources to stop the conversion of maize, soybeans, oil palm, and other foods to bio fuel should become another high priority.
