 * EU Parliament Proposal **
 * Problem: ** Decrease in and Agriculture Food Insecurity.
 * Description: **
 * 1) Agriculture is decreasing in the world, so countries with more advanced industries and technology don’t have time and space to develop agriculture.
 * 2) When a country doesn’t produce its own food, it has to buy it from another country. If the country’s food it’s not enough for its own, it stops selling the food to the other country, which will not have food at all. Also, the country which is buying the food can’t control the other country’s agricultural process, and they don’t know if something goes wrong.
 * 3) There will be fewer jobs for farmers, as well as less production and less money for the state (government). If it buys the food from another country, the state will make less money and give more. Less export and more import, that make an unbalanced economy
 * 4) Farmers make less money, so to be a farmer is not an interesting job.
 * 5) Food Insecurity is one of EU’s parliament biggest concerns. ( [|http://www.theparliament.com/no_cache/latestnews/news article/newsarticle/eu-must-increase-efforts-towards-food-security/] )
 * Solutions: **
 * 1) Continue industrialization process but also putting the focus on agriculture by promoting it in the country.
 * 2) Fewer taxes for farmers or state can also negotiate them depending on the quality of the products.
 * 3) Make free institutions for learning how to farm; funds must be negotiated with FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), which will also help promote this policies in the world.
 * 4) Come up with food policies also in cooperation with FAO about how production must be done.
 * 5) Create a “Food Quality Committee” that will work together with [|Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development].
 * 6) Also create a “Quality Test” that will be controlled by the new “Food Quality Committee” that test every product produced by any EU country that wants to export it with a non-EU country. If this product does not passes the test, this product will be banned from markets for 6 months and the countries’ government will be forced to pay (about) 100€ Euros for each unit that does not pass the test. This new law can be a form of encouraging the governments to control their own food production.
