Global Agenda Council on Food Security 2012-2014

The Global Agenda Council on Food & Nutrition Security identifies sustainable food and nutrition security as a strategic objective, proposing a multi-pronged approach involving increased agricultural productivity for smallholders, responsible investment, and the reduction of food loss and waste. The Council aims to leverage global platforms like the G20 and G8, and support initiatives such as Grow Africa and UN Zero Hunger to coordinate public-private collaborations, particularly in Africa and Asia.

• Global food insecurity has been worsened by the economic crisis, resulting in 870 million people facing hunger, with future volatility expected due to climate change, increased demand for food and energy, and rising production costs.
• The Council identifies several key pillars to achieve sustainable food and nutrition security: increasing productivity for smallholder farmers (especially women and vulnerable groups), responsible agricultural investment, improving environmental sustainability, reducing food waste, and ensuring nutrition access for vulnerable populations.
• The Council is collaborating with the Council on Logistics & Supply Chain Systems on a value-chain efficiency initiative to manage post-harvest losses and improve the environmental sustainability of food value chains.
• The Council intends to influence national agriculture sectors through public-private collaborations, with a specific focus on Africa and Asia.
