Pakistani research call for legislation to ensure food security

In Pakistan, food experts and researchers have called for legislation to ensure food security through allocation of adequate funds for research on crops, and stop establishment of human settlements on fertile agricultural land.

They were speaking at the third international conference on agriculture, food and animal sciences at Sindh Agriculture University (SAU) Tandojam that concluded on Wednesday. They pointed out in their presentations that food resources faced threats from acute water shortage and deteriorating soil fertility caused by changing weather patterns. They said that a high-level committee of researchers, academicians and government functionaries should be formed to frame food policy and stressed the need for conservation and restoration of local animal breeds and indigenous seeds.
