The second type of instrument is emergency funding to deal with unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, market breakdowns, and political instability. The EU’s ad hoc €1 billion Food Facility, created in 2008 for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries, is a good example.
第二种政策工具则是应对自然灾害，市场崩溃或者政治危机这类突发事件的紧急专款。在此欧盟专门为应对发展中国家粮食价格飞涨而在2008年创立的10亿欧元临时食品基金就是一个绝佳范例。而这类政策工具的目的也包括了在特定国家推动中短期的农业发展。
