With approximately 850 million people undernourished around the globe, the problem of food insecurity persists, despite technological advances in food production. To transfer the policy experiences of Korea in agriculture and rural sectors, with a special attention to food security issues, to partner countries may bring good opportunities to “watch and learn” in this context. It is because that, during the past four decades, Korea has very quickly achieved the status of advanced country, and introduced a various kind of policies to those sectors as well, which will presumably provide excellent cases for benchmarking for other developing countries. The government of Republic of Korea desires to develop a program framework for improving food security situation of developing countries. This proposed program will be able to assist developing countries, at the national level, to deal more effectively with food security issues by utilizing the framework. Therefore, Korean Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MIFAFF) initiates a new program called “Korea Agricultural Policy Experiences for Food Security (KAPEX)” for partner countries. For the first year of 2013, three countries (Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Kingdom of Cambodia, and Lao People’s Democratic Republic) will be artner countries. ※ Attached files for more information |
