The initiative of this report is very timely and I would like to thank the HPLE steering committee for providing the opportunity for comment.
Overall speaking all the topics / issues proposed to be tackled within the report are global issues.
On the other hand, I consider as appropriate the proposed approach (meaning issues) of the report.
The differences between diets, food habits, food chains and health problems are considerable and depend on various cultural, geographical, national, economic or social aspects.
Since the issues proposed by the report are extremely generous in terms of amplitude my opinion is to try an approach as focus as possible and possible to outline several case studies or examples of good practices.
Of course the sustainability is a key aspect that has to be taken into consideration, and the issues of food security and sovereignty should also be tackled.
