The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) will organize a High-Level Virtual Special Event on Food Security and Nutrition. The session, in lieu of CFS 47 which has been rescheduled to 8 – 12 February 2021 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, will seek to keep food security and nutrition front and centre on the global sustainable development agenda.

Over the course of these 3 days, CFS will organize three high-level virtual plenaries, one per day, to:

  • Take stock of the global food security situation guided by the SOFI 2020 and the HLPE report on Building a Global Narrative towards 2030;
  • Reflect on the impacts of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition and the global efforts needed to “build back better”; and,
  • Discuss the draft CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition and the draft CFS Policy Recommendations on Agroecological and Other Innovative Approaches, and their relevance to the objectives of the UN.
