The resolution by the Parliamentary Assembly highlights the urgent need to ensure sustainable food security in times of crisis, focusing on the rights to adequate food for all individuals, even amidst challenges such as armed conflicts, climate shocks, and living cost crises that threaten global food systems. With particular concern over the implications of the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the resolution calls on Council of Europe member states to support Ukraine’s agricultural reconstruction plans and humanitarian efforts in Gaza. It emphasises the geostrategic significance of regions like the Strait of Hormuz for food security, condemning the use of starvation as a warfare method and urging countries to strengthen international cooperation, accountability mechanisms, and sustainable local food production. Additionally, the document outlines actions to reduce dependencies that lead to geopolitical pressures and stresses the importance of safeguarding food sovereignty and rights-based food systems to promote long-term resilience and global food security.
