At this Rendez-Vous de l'expertise, a number of speakers with varied backgrounds - international experts, field practitioners, researchers, NGO representatives and private sector players - shared their analyses and feedback on the day-to-day challenges of food security.
Food Security: Panorama
While food security remains a major global challenge, as set out in Sustainable Development Goal 2 (‘Eradicate hunger, ensure food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture’), imbalances in food systems continue to threaten equitable access to sufficient, high-quality food.
The discussions at this #RDV focused in particular on the growing influence of the private sector in the governance of export-oriented food systems, and the consequences this may have on the local availability of food. The speakers also explored ways of strengthening the resilience and sustainability of food systems, in order to better absorb economic, climatic and geopolitical shocks.
Relive the highlights of this Rendez-vous de l'Expertise and hear from committed players in the field and on stage.
