Question for written answer  E-001091/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Lukas Mandl (PPE)

According to the World Food Programme, 343 million people worldwide suffer from acute food insecurity today. Ten years ago, this number stood at 85 million people. Given the significant rise of global food insecurity, I would like to ask:

• 1.What measures will the Commission take to prevent malicious actors from exploiting those affected by food shortages and hunger?
• 2.Could food security become a policy area in which the administrations of the United States and the EU align to take joint action?
• 3.What actions will the Commission take to identify opportunities for advancing and funding reliable food security initiatives?
