What is the International Agri-Food Network?
The International Agri-Food Network (IAFN) was formed in 1996 during the World Food Summit as an informal coalition of international trade associations involved in the agri-food sector at the global level. The network facilitates liaison among the member organizations and engages international organizations in the agri-food chain at a global level. The International Agri‑Food Network (IAFN) brings together international, regional, and national associations and organizations across the agri-food value chain. We represent farmers and producers of all scales, cooperatives, SMEs, input providers, manufacturers, processors, traders, and agri-food companies whose expertise, investment, and operational capacity are essential to effective food‑systems governance.


Private Sector Mechanism
The CFS Private Sector Mechanism (PSM) is the formal channel through which private‑sector organizations engage in the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Coordinated by IAFN, the CFS PSM brings practical experience, evidence, and operational insights into CFS policy discussions.
Committee on World Food Security
The Committee for World Food Security (CFS) is the United Nations’ forum for reviewing and following up on policies concerning world food security. It also examines issues which affect the world food situation. It was established as a result of the food crisis of the 1970s, upon recommendation from the 1974 World Food Conference.
