President Leonel Fernandez is confident that a well-thought out plan and cooperation between the country's private and public sectors will enable the DR to "survive" the food and energy crises that are developing on a global scale. Fernandez made his comments during a meeting at the Agricultural Institute (ISA). Fernandez says that farmers should increase production as a way of fighting the food crisis and that certain measures need to be taken in order to help with this task. During the meeting Fernandez announced the creation of the new Food Security Council, which is expected to help create those measures. Fernandez said "we understand the severity of the situation and the challenges that we are faced with, because it is more than just a food crisis; it is an energy, economic and financial crisis". Fernandez said that the DR needs to look ahead in order to emerge from the crisis successfully.
