G20 president Brazil takes food security leaf from India

It will also take up issues like fair trade, climate change and preserving biodiversity loss
Brazil's presidency of G20 is expected to take forward the New Delhi G20 declaration on food security by promoting sustainable agriculture through low-carbon agricultural and fair trade, a Brazilian diplomat said, a development focus that started with last year's summit in India.
The Brazilian move comes against the backdrop of left-wing leader Luis Inacio Lula da Silva's election as president for the second term last January. The Brazilian official said the fight against hunger and poverty will be a global priority and one of the main themes of the Brazilian presidency of the G20 in line with the UN 2030 agenda, especially the "zero hunger" goal.
"We will take the Indian G20 Presidency's declaration on food security forward. Though India did brilliant work during the G20 last year, there was not much on antimicrobial resistance, etc. This is a hot topic for us now," Brazilian agricultural attaché Angelo de Queiroz Mauricio told Mint.
Food plays an important role in the development and spread of antimicrobial (including anti-bacterial) resistance, a huge issue in India.
