Food security - a main pillar in sustainable economic developmentNguyen Xuan Cuong, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, speaks to the press about the ongoing APEC agriculture week in Can Tho Mekong Province. Extreme weather due to climate change in the world and the region has seriously threatened food security and sustainable agriculture. As a result, food security and sustainable agriculture have become hot issues globally, including the Asia Pacific rim. The scope of the agriculture week taking place in Can Tho from August 18-25 is much bigger than in 2006. As I have mentioned above, the topic for the week is food security in the context of sustainable agriculture development amid negative impacts of climate change.
