MIYAZAKI -- The two-day G7 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting ended Sunday with a communique that confirmed the strengthening of cooperation on food security to expand production as well as support for agricultural production in Ukraine.
"We commit to promote policies that support sustainable productivity growth" to strengthen food security, the ministers' communique read.
Against the backdrop of instability of food supplies caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and climate change, the communique included a policy to promote expansion of production by using existing domestic resources effectively, stating that G7 members will aim to "achieve sufficient and sustainable production in the medium and long term to feed the growing global population."
