§ 2
First part	'Observes that agricultural investment policies mostly focus on large-scale land acquisitions and on export-oriented agriculture that is usually unrelated to local economies; notes that the development of extensive irrigation in the targeted geographical investment areas of NAFSN may reduce water availability for other users, such as small-scale farmers or pastoralists; stresses that under those circumstances the ability of mega-PPPs to contribute to poverty reduction and food security must be critically assessed and improved;'
Second part	'emphasises that agricultural investment policies should be linked to and should support the development of the local economy, including smallholders and family farming; recalls that the FAO Tenure Guidelines recommend secure access to land in order to allow families to produce food for household consumption and to increase household income; stresses the need to base large-scale land-based investment in Africa on these guidelines, ensuring smallholders’ and local communities' access to land, promoting local SME investment. and ensuring that PPPs contribute to food security and to reducing poverty and inequality;'
§ 25
First part	'Notes that multinationals operating under NAFSN favour large-scale contract farming, which risks marginalising small-scale producers;'
Second part	'calls on the ten African states participating in NAFSN to ensure that contract farming benefits both buyers and local suppliers; to this end, deems it crucial to strengthen, for example, farmers' organisations so as to improve the bargaining position of farmers;'
PPE:
§ 22
First part	'Calls for all letters of intent within the CCFs to be published in full;'
Second part	'stresses the need for strong institutional and legal frameworks to ensure a fair sharing of risks and benefits; emphasises that active participation on the part of civil society within NAFSN is crucial in order to step up transparency and ensure that its objectives are met; points out that dialogue and consultation with all civil society groups must be encouraged;'
§ 34, indent 1
First part	'ensure participatory and inclusive arrangements that prioritise the rights, needs and interests of those in whom rights to land are legitimately vested, particularly smallholders and small family farmers; ensure, in particular, that free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) is obtained'
Second part	'from any/all communities living on land whose ownership, and/or control over which, is transferred;'
§ 34, indent 6
First part	'to ensure that the principle of EPIC is observed'

§ 32
First part	'Calls for the continuous development of innovative breeding techniques, with European seed banks nevertheless being maintained, which is vital for new and diverse varieties with higher yields, greater nutritional value, better resistance to pest diseases and adverse weather conditions, and to facilitate greater biodiversity; points out that breeding techniques may provide opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of conventional agriculture; cautions against any lock-in chemical dependency on newer varieties;
Second part	'disapproves of the current administrative and regulatory burdens for businesses and'
Third part	'encourages community-based farming breeding programmes; underlines that due care is necessary in the approval of new varieties;'
Fourth part	'urges the Commission to encourage the uptake of new techniques which have undergone appropriate risk assessment where it is required and are fully in line with the precautionary principle, and to ensure access to biological materials for SMEs in the breeding sector, and expects it to strongly support innovation in this respect;'
Fifth part	'disapproves of the current decision of the enlarged board of appeal of the European Patent Office (EPO) of 25 March in Cases G2/12 and G2/13;'
EFDD, ENF, S&D:
Recital A
First part	'whereas the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) estimates that the expected rise in the world’s population to 9.1 billion by 2050 will in the business as usual scenario require a 60 % increase in food supply that should be safe and of high quality and a 24 % increase in crop yields in the developed countries by that date, whilst preserving resources for future generations and preventing food waste and losses, which currently account for over one third of global production;' without 'a 60 % increase in food supply that should be safe and of high quality and a 24 % increase in crop yields in the developed countries by that date, whilst'

Third part	'60%', '24%', 'in the developed world'
Fourth part	'whereas the FAO also estimates that there will only be a 4.3% increase in arable land by 2050, which will require better management of natural resources to combat soil degradation among other issues;'
GUE/NGL, EFDD:
Recital D
First part	'whereas population growth, higher average incomes and changing consumer behaviour will lead to revised dietary preferences,'
Second part	'and will result in particular in higher demand for processed foods and animal proteins such as meat and dairy;'
