    An extended informal meeting took place during the week of 2 to 6 December during which the overall concept of PFZ was discussed and more detailed consideration was given to the design and operationalisation of its key components, especially those relating to institutional arrangements, family farming (including the special cases of land reform settlements and the North East), and broadening access to adequate food. The meeting benefited from a series of excellent presentations by invited guests (see Annex 2), most of which focussed on ongoing projects and programmes in Brazil that are considered as offering experience relevant to the design and implementation of PFZ. Many documents were assembled for reference by the Working Group (see Annex 3). These included a number of papers prepared by members of the Transition Team and national experts, following the elections, for presentation at this meeting. This brief report seeks to summarise the most important observations that a rose in the discussions and on which there appears to be a large measure of consensus. It also seeks to represent the diversity of opinions expressed during the meeting. Finally it explores possible responses of the three international institutions to the immediate challenges posed by PFZ.
