Final negotiations on Responsible Agricultural Investment

4 August, 2014: – Agri-businesses, United Nations countries and civil society organisations are in Rome this week to negotiate new Principles on “Responsible Agricultural Investment”, which will be endorsed the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in October 2014.

The private sector has had a seat at every stage of the two-year negotiation process through the International Agri-Food Network (IAFN) and has made the case that the Principles, being voluntary, must have a positive focus if businesses and states are to commit to them.
