Faced with the erratic nature of agricultural markets, regulation is needed to soften the impact on poorer countries of volatile food prices. This does not mean that protectionism is the way forward, only that taking account of specific issues that affect international farm trade – weather, price volatility, or health risks – may be necessary from time to time.
进一步开放农业贸易并不确保食品安全。农业市场起伏不定，因此就需要法规来减缓动荡的食品价格对贫困国家的影响。这并不意味着应该采取保护主义，而是有必要不时地考虑到影响国际农业贸易的具体问题，例如天气、价格波动或者健康风险等等。
