International Perspective farmers must change existing irri

EU agriculture committee in the recent water policy seminar warning: "climate change" like a point to our guns. "Worldwide have been warning," committee member Marian Eph poetry Seoul. Boyi Le (MariannFischerBoel) in an issue of sustainable agricultural water for the meeting said, "under ordinary circumstances, to make degree rise in temperature of the earth a few thousand years, and in this century, we expect to see is that the global temperature increase of only 2-6 degrees Celsius. "Boel a self-described" farmer's wife, "the members stressed that the lives of farmers and production are closely linked with water, they are in a serious impact of climate change at the forefront. If they do not start investing storage technology, then, be punished without the EU, they will also be tasted without thought but because of his serious consequences. Meeting in Zaragoza, Spain, 2008 During the exhibition, the meeting agenda is mainly water and sustainable development. Chairman of the meeting is the Cyprus Antonis. Constantinou Dino (AntonisConstantinou) - Department of DG Agriculture and Rural Development Committee supervisor. Members said that the southern European countries would dare to try to confront climate change and gradually a large area of ​​water shortage. Boel said: "There may be some areas will be a profit, such as the northern region, but we are still far from the expected climate change could destroy the wave - more heat waves, droughts, floods and crops lost income and other horrendously can be mitigated and resolved. "She also said the drought of the past thirty years and the impact of the EU's most often mentioned causes of the most serious disasters. Year period from 1976-2006, the number of people affected by drought increased by 20%. "Climate change has come; drought has come. We now need to remove the insured. Better business opportunities requires better use of water resources. For those farmers, climate change will bring them a heavy blow, making them unprepared. "She said. EU plans to add 10 billion euros, as the Member States in co-financing, to address the challenges facing agriculture. In any case, funds can not be provided free of charge. "Using the EU's money unlike open the tap as simple as get public money should be to serve the public. "She said. Good water management is not just for farmers' questions, as Boel mentioned, agriculture is affected by the quantity and quality of water to get the greatest impact of the industry, the EU farming industry has 60% of the water is obtained from various European water basins, and therefore effective management of water resources, it is crucial. Spanish Minister of the Environment - Ai Erna. 艾斯皮诺萨 (ElenaEspinosa) stressed that the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture to reduce its use of shared water resources, were targeted management, is now only the total amount of shared water resources 10%, so as not to affect the level of production. European Parliament Committee on Agriculture Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Chairman - Neil. Palley poetry (NeilParish) asked the European experience of other countries to see more, do not unprepared for the development of new technologies. "12% of Spain's water will be recycled, the Department for water to circulate within the EU countries with the highest recycling rate. In Israel, they can recycling about 75% of water, most used for agricultural irrigation. "He said. Efficient water use is only the EU is now facing one of the many challenges, Boel said. "I do not think anyone foresaw the present situation, we find that we are now in energy and food prices extremely concerned, this is bound to increase the extent of inflation. "She said. Either way, look at the issue at the same time or to focus on its background. Food prices were suppressed for many years, so today's grain prices are still only three years ago, almost half. "People are accustomed to cheap food cheap again, they used the money to travel down to save, or to buy cooking utensils and never go. "She adds. Spain Aragon regional government primary 席玛尔塞利诺. 里格利西阿斯 (MarcelinoIglesias) said that Europe will face three main threats: energy supply, food crisis and climate change. "Over the past decade, Aragon was the first European in the production process, consumption of renewable energy country, of course, the proper consumption of energy is necessary. "He said. Boel stressed that the burden can not be attributed only to the farmers themselves, "we can think about how to improve the way we act to reduce our energy consumption. If the 500 million Europeans every day to think about how we want to reserve energy, water dripping into a river can be, the result will be welcome. "Palley poem says, this is precisely the new technologies must be introduced that purpose. "We have to start thinking of new technology, we can use solar energy for water desalination, as energy prices continue to grow and pesticides, biotechnology really so bad? "Human thinking is now needed on the biological transgenic research more scientific controversy, Boel said. "European public research on genetically modified organisms had no confidence, they are close to the technology still has a certain mood, but you know, Europe imports 80% of soybeans are genetically modified. "Palley poem that the European Food Safety Authority in this respect is very strict testing, approved the import of a number of genetically modified maize will take 34 months. The same test in the United States only takes 15 months. The Committee also noted that the EU imports of GM products in the strict requirement to make the import side experience. Meanwhile, the Committee to protest the price of soybeans more expensive, the EU livestock ranchers will reduce output, so that it will cause meat prices. "You will see the number of imported Argentinian beef substantial growth in the EU because they are not authorized to use genetically modified soybeans for keeping herd. "Please note that Cyprus failed regional water management: no built desalination plants; lot of water is used to irrigate golf courses; shipped from overseas and the need to fill the Greek tanker of water. Boel said she would not talk about how to deal with its inter-national water issues. "Member States need to invest, water is a scarce resource that needs to be treated carefully. I think we should be authorized for all water sources, and must begin to think about a number of different ways. "She said. "As far as I know, a request was submitted to Parliament the Government of Cyprus, the use of state power to help solve some of their own problems. "She adds. Boel badly damaged last year after a visit to the forest fires in Cyprus, "This is an unpleasant experience, saw and heard shocking. "Former Ministry of Agriculture Executive - Antonis. Constantinou Dino (AntonisConstantinou), endorse this new way of thinking processes that deal with the Cyprus problem this is necessary. "We will personally go through the whole process of desertification. Not far from Limassol Kela Suo by Rio has lost its past quality environment. About 85% of the population has left local. In La Nia, 30 villas are the last fire surrounded by burnt land, the villagers could get this land to do what? "Dino Constantinou said the Ministry of Agriculture has processed due to prolonged drought caused water supply problems experienced, but they now need to be able to face is to find a way to solve all the problems faced. "Cyprus has been very adept at using an integrated approach to water management and the use of high-quality irrigation systems to improve the ability to implement a combination of methods. Because time is short, so this approach is a must, Southern Europe will fall into a dangerous situation. By 2050, we hope to extreme climatic conditions, long-term droughts, more floods, forest erosion, mountain temperatures fluctuated, as well as all relevant issues can be resolved before the temperature is raised and the corresponding control. "" Cyprus are not good storage, avoid erosion, adapt to water scarcity, such as the island does not bring a better future. We are not good at keeping greenery, to avoid and fight the fire, so to encourage people to manage public lands, and even people who do not have agricultural land. "He adds. Constance Dino asking the public and policy leadership in environmental projects to increase investment, not only in the ignition when the attention. He also said that Cyprus must understand the necessity of environmental investment, because it is a direct impact on the public interest and tourism. "One can not only promote green canyon almonds grow, along with the public while promoting the production and entertainment. It can also enhance the development of tourism, as well as our quality of life. "The Commission Cypriot officials said.
