José Esquinas AlcázarBiodiversity and security––Relationships between agricultural biodiversity and the sustainable developmentof rural areas.––Relationships between agricultural biodiversity and edapho-climaticbiodiversity.––Analysis of the contribution of agricultural biodiversity as a key componentof the «wealth of the nation».• Research, Development and Innovation. To this end, the Ministry of Scienceand Innovation, and where appropriate, the relevant institutions of the AutonomousCommunities, should include agrobiodiversity as a priority lineof research.• Creation of new markets and product diversification.• International Cooperation• Training, congresses and seminars.• Communication and dissemination, especially those directed to consumers.140For the implementation of the Strategy it is necessary to take into account thefollowing:• Mechanisms for management decision-making regarding the Strategy (NationalCommission, or similar).• Mechanisms for inter-territorial cooperation with representation of the AutonomousCommunities.• Mechanisms for the best use of existing funding and additional fundingmechanisms.• Mechanisms of coordination and administrative management of the Strategy.• Mechanisms for implementation of the Strategy in the short to medium term(plans of action).• A network of infrastructures supported by the Strategy.■■FINAL CONSIDERATIONSAlthough regulatory issues remain crucial, legal provisions alone are notenough because they must be understood, accepted and implemented by bothcitizens and their governments. For this to occur, it is essential the awarenessof the general public. In fact, it is very important that stakeholders and citizensimprove their knowledge of the provisions of the International Treaty. Trainingin this area, as well as public awareness of the importance of genetic diversityand the dangers of its loss, are important challenges.It must be remembered that genetic erosion is only a consequence of humanexploitation of the planet’s natural resources. The fundamental problemis the lack of respect for nature, and any lasting solution must involve theestablishment of a new relationship with our planet and the understanding ofits limitations and fragility. If humanity is to have a future, it is imperative thatchildren learn this in school and that adults include it in their daily lives.
CHAPTER FIVETHE VOLATILITY OF THEAGRICULTURAL MARKETSAND THE WORLD FOOD CRISISJosé María SumpsiABSTRACTThe paper analyzes the main causes of strong and sudden increase inagricultural prices and food prices in the first half of 2008 that causedfood crisis, which was complex, multifactorial and not cyclical. Afterthat, significant price reductions on 2009 and part of 2010 have takenplace and again price increased strongly from August 2010 until July2011. This situation supports the view of a strong agricultural pricevolatility, which is one of the problems concern to the internationalcommunity, as evidenced by the fact that the G-20 considered theissue of agricultural market volatility and its impact on the globalfood crisis as one of the key themes in 2011 under the FrenchPresidency. Structural causes of the high volatility and particularlystrong and price spikes, particularly the supply-demand imbalanceand climate change, mean that humanity faces a challenge of longtermfood supply, which can only be solved through innovation andtechnology adoption, increased agricultural investment, design andimplementation of appropriate agricultural policies and a new globalgovernance for food and agriculture.Key Words:Food security, food crisis, price volatility, agriculturalinvestment, agricultural policy.
