The FCDO supports the global research organisation, the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (CGIAR), to support seed systems to improve access of smallholder farmers to more productive and climate-resilient varieties. The CGIAR builds capacity of national research and extension systems and seed organisations to ensure uptake of public-bred varieties and other innovations. The FCDO also supports the operation of the CGIAR genebanks that hold over 700,000 crop varieties, making these available free of charge to support the development of new crop varieties. The genebanks are managed jointly with the Global Crop Diversity Trust and in line with the International Treaty for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. In 2021 CGIAR distributed almost 100,000 samples to users, 50 per cent of which were to developing countries.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4531", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Berwick-upon-Tweed"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-06-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-06-15T10:24:06.217Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Food Supply"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to support farmer seed systems in the Global South.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "188529"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1642236", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1642236/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Global Food Security Action Plan is a working document that is regularly updated to direct and prioritise Official's work on food security, and to enable the FCDO to monitor and evaluate progress. We publish information on actions that have been taken in line with the plan, for example funding announcements and details of Ministerial visits and engagements. The FCDO engages regularly with a range of stakeholders to consult and inform them of the actions we are prioritising.

At least 1.6 billion people are already affected by the current surge in food, energy and commodity prices and are impacted in their food security. While Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, the world's poorest people are inching closer to starvation. Rising food and fuel prices, and tightening financial conditions have led to vicious cycles, hitting the poorest hardest.<\/p>
At the World Bank Spring Meetings, the UK and partners agreed the largest ever commitment to developing countries - $170 billion over the next 15 months, including $30 billion for food security, of which $12 billion is uncommitted. The UK is calling for the G7 and wider international community to step up support to tackle global food insecurity. One important element of the G7 response announced in June is the collective G7 commitment to provide USD 4.5 billion to mitigate the scale of the global food security crisis. We have been consistently calling on our interlocutors to maximise their support. We are also calling on Russia to end its illegal war; supporting UN efforts to unblock the export of Ukrainian grain and urging all countries to keep food trade flowing. We recognise that resources are limited, and our response must be as effective as possible. We are therefore also working to enhance the coherence of the international response, including through the G7 Global Alliance on Food Security.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4674", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Vicky Ford"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chelmsford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Vicky Ford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-07-14T14:56:58.427Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Food Supply"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she encouraged her G7 counterparts to commit a larger collective pledge to tackle global food insecurity than the $4.5 billion commitment announced by G7 Leaders on 28 June 2022.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4403", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Law"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Dundee West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Law"} ], "uin" : "30037"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1483536", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1483536/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Science and innovation underpin our delivery of food security goals. The £133 million for research and innovation recently pledged strengthens the UK response to the current global food crisis to develop and implement cutting-edge technologies to improve food security. Around £8 million will be allocated to programmes that work with agri-pastoralist communities, in particular in the Sahel. These programmes will deliver research and innovation that can enable: the development of sustainable, climate resilient livestock systems; improve livestock productivity and health; and empower women working in the agri-pastoralist system.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4454", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cannock Chase"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Amanda Milling"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-07-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-07-05T15:00:11.473Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Food Supply"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Prime Minister's pledges of new support for countries on the food security frontline, published on 24 June 2022, what proportion of the £133 million for research and development partnerships will be allocated to partnerships focused on food security for pastoralist communities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1583", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Lyn Brown"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Lyn Brown"} ], "uin" : "25788"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1483537", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1483537/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The UK is a major humanitarian donor, and we are continuing the commitment set out in the Strategy for International Development to spend approximately £1 billion per year on life-saving humanitarian assistance.<\/p>
The majority of the £130 million funding for the World Food Programme (WFP) directly supports their vital efforts to provide emergency food aid in some of the most food insecure countries in the world, in particular Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Somalia and South Sudan, as well as Sudan and Nigeria amongst others. These include Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Madagascar, Niger, Chad, Mali, Mozambique, Uganda and Lebanon. This funding is being disbursed in the course of 2022.<\/p>
A proportion of the £130 million will be provided as unearmarked funding, not allocated to a specific region or crisis, giving WFP the maximum financial flexibility to direct funds where they are most needed and enhance their capacity to take early action to avert the risk of famine.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4366", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cleverly"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Braintree"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cleverly"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-07-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-07-05T11:04:10.823Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Food Supply"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the news story on gov.uk, PM pledges new support for countries on the food security frontline, published on 24 June 2022, which World Food Programme emergency response efforts will be funded from the £130 million commitment; how much funding each World Food Programme emergency will receive; and over what timescale that funding will be transferred.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1583", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Lyn Brown"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ms Lyn Brown"} ], "uin" : "25789"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1471289", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1471289/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Before Russia's invasion, almost 1 billion people in 92 countries did not have enough food to eat and 55 countries, mostly in Africa and Asia, were already in acute hunger crises, emergency or famine conditions. This has now risen to at least 1.7 billion with 49 million people already living a step away from famine (up from 25 million in 2020), and almost 860,000 people estimated to be in famine-like conditions.<\/p>
Steep increases in the price of staple commodities and agriculture inputs were already apparent before the war. Russia's aggression has further exacerbated these spikes - according to the World Food Programme the price of a food basket in Ethiopia has risen 66 percent, and in Somalia 36 percent. Higher import costs of fuel and food are exacerbating the fragile debt status of many countries particularly in Africa.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-07-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-07-01T12:54:50.81Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Food Supply"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effect on the (1) level of debt of, and (2) potential loss of life in, developing countries of global food shortages and increasing food prices, as a result of the war in Ukraine.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/802", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Selkirk of Douglas"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Selkirk of Douglas"} ], "uin" : "HL1062"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1469831", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1469831/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Food insecurity in developing countries caused by Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine is a critical global issue. The UK-led action at the World Trade Organization (WTO) committed members to ensuring open and predictable trade and the continued free flow of food. This action has now been endorsed by fifty-four other members. We have placed priority on guaranteeing that the World Food Programme is unhindered by export restrictions, allowing it to best use its funding. We aim to build on this at the WTO\u2019s 12th<\/sup> Ministerial Conference in June, urging Members to create a more sustainable, efficient and resilient global food system.<\/p>"}
