Through its presidency of the G8 in 2013, the UK should put pressure on
the rest of the G8 and other rich nations to put more life-saving aid
into sustainable small-scale agriculture and nutrition, building upon
the agreement made at the 2012 G8 summit.
The UK and other rich countries should take major steps towards
contributing their fair share of the $21.3 billion required to fill the
gap in agriculture funding, and to reach the $5 billion needed to pay
for action on nutrition. This would collectively save more than 1
million lives every year.
