The EU is a major actor in terms of food and nutrition security – financial decisions towards rural development, territorial planning, sustainable agriculture and food and nutrition security amount to an average of over EUR 1 billion annually for the period 2006-2011.Particular initiatives, all of which have contributed to enhanced food and nutrition security, have included the EUR 1 billion Food Facility, which assisted those countries worst affected by the 2007/2008 food price crisis and the EUR 1 billion MDG Initiative, which supports those countries which are lagging behind in meeting these goals including in particular MDG 1c on hal ...[+++]ving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger, as well as MDG 3 and 4, In addition, the EU addresses acute food and nutrition insecurity through humanitarian and development assistance.

Its aim is to assist the country's efforts to implement the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (PNSAN), the aim of which is to establish sustainable food and nutrition security for 2025.

Food insecurity is particularly rife in a number of States which are vulnerable institutionally and where food security goals are difficult to attain because of political instability.
