DocumentOther documentCritical, emerging and enduring issues for food security and nutrition
A note by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security
2022In 1996, the World Food Summit stated that “Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” In 2022, more than a quarter of a century later, the world still faces major challenges and is not on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals related to food security and nutrition. In this note, elaborated within the framework of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) brings to the attention of the Committee seven critical, emerging and enduring issues which require their attention in the coming years and could shape their quadrennial programme of work for 2024–2027. These include resilience and equity of supply chains; urban and peri-urban food systems in the context of urbanization and rural transformation; conflicts and food system fragility; climate policies; roles and rights of food system workers; and diverse knowledge systems, technologies and practices; as well as the challenges related to the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and other biological hazards. This note also illustrates how the intersections and interactions between these key issues impact food security and nutrition. -
