QUESTION OF: COMBATING FOOD INSECURITY IN WAR TORN

COUNTRIES

The General Assembly,

Deeply concerned by the fact that 8.8% of the world population is

undernourished and that there is a rise in malnutrition to 31% among
children aged under 5 years old as opposed to 23% in 2005,

Taking into consideration that populations face problems like

undernourishment during crisis situations like wars,

Expressing deep concern that farmers are attacked and have to

evacuate leading to the rise in the number and area of unused land,
therefore resulting in a decrease in the yield of food crops harvest,

Bearing in mind that people affected in war torn countries tend to

immigrate illegally to other countries thus leading to food scarcity,

Deploring that climate change leads to more droughts therefore

resulting in water scarcity for consumption and irrigation,

Keeping in mind that water pollution causes death of aquatic animals

and plants and also causes diseases in these very fauna and flora,

Noting further that the amount of food wasted in developed countries

is colossal,

Grieved by the fact that after wars, there is a rise in malnutrition and
diseases in fauna and flora,

1. Calls Upon the WFP (WORLD FOOD PROGRAM) to assist war torn
countries in delivering food and in maintaining food reserves;

2. Invites NGOs such as UNDP to promote youth engagement in

agriculture and encourage educated farmers to adopt new agricultural
technologies to contribute to better harvest;

3. Requests investments in productivity- enhancing technologies

like- high yield seeds;

4. Suggests that UNO might help in planning financial budget in

such a way that the reasonable percentage of the GDP of a country can be
invested to finance people in war torn countries;

5. Further requests that weather related warning systems are

implemented so that a back-up plan is prepared;

6. Further requests endeavors to reduce food wastage in developed

countries, which can feed more than twice food insecure people;

7. Invites government to promote programs and schemes to cope

with the problems;

8. Recommends governments to hold pre-ambulatory schemes and

pro-active laws to be added in the constitution of the country to help flora
and fauna;

9. Solemnly affirms that we need to raise awareness through

campaigns, mass media and so on to increase international awareness about
environmental issues;

10. Urges developed countries to donate food stuffs, medical aid and
money;

11. Reaffirms that developed countries can welcome refugees and

provide food security to them;

12. Demands countries to guide their consumption habits towards a

sustainable model;

13. Appeals to countries to temporarily remove trade barriers on

food items to encourage trade liberalization so that availability of food can be
increased.
