One significant knowledge gap necessary for assessing ecosystem-wide impacts of restoration in... estuaries is a characterization of baseline lower trophic levels. These lower tropic levels are the lowest part of the food web where organisms such as plant-like phytoplankton serve as food to animals such as zooplankton in the water column. Other organisms of lower trophic levels include plant-like microphytobenthos and marine worms living within the sediments. These organisms form an important part of the estuary ecosystem [and] provide energy at the base of the food chain [that] support the growth of larger predators at the top[, ] such as speckled trout or red fish[. These] organisms also help to break down debris, put oxygen back into sediments, and can provide a biological window into the health of an estuary.

En cohérence avec la réforme de l'aide alimentaire engagée par la Commission, une nouvelle approche de la sécurité alimentaire est également proposée. La Commission prévoit : un appui aux réformes et aux politiques facilitant l'accès - en particulier pour les groupes les plus vulnérables - aux ressources productives telles que les droits de propriété et d'exploitation de la terre, le capital et le crédit, l'éducation et la formation, les technologies, l'information, les services de transport et de communications; de cibler ses actions sur les populations les plus pauvres lorsque les conditions politiques ne permettent pas d'appuyer des politiques nationales de sécurité alimentaire visant l'amélioration de l'accès aux produits alimentaires, le maintien des productions locales ou encore la gestion des ressources en eau.
