Unsafe Food In The Developing World

EDM number 1166 in 2012-13, proposed by Mark Durkan on 11/03/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Diseases, Farmers and Food.

That this House recognises the serious public health implications of chronic aflatoxin exposure, which affects an estimated 4.5 billion people living in developing countries, is responsible for over a quarter of the world's liver cancer, and contributes to childhood stunting and immunosuppressive disorders; acknowledges the economic impact of aflatoxin contamination on smallholder farmers, both in terms of long-term health problems and export losses due to unsafe levels of the toxin; and calls on the Government to ensure this issue is addressed in the post-2015 Development Goals through funding for household, private sector and national crop drying, storage and primary processing to improve food safety and food security.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
