Strengthening Urban and Peri-Urban Food Systems to achieve food security and nutrition in the context or urbanization and rural transformation

Background

During its 50th plenary session (10-13 October 2022), the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) included a request to the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) to produce a report on “Strengthening urban and peri-urban food systems to achieve food security and nutrition in the context of urbanization and rural transformation” to be presented in June 2024.

The final HLPE Report on Strengthening Urban and Peri-Urban Food Systems to achieve food security and nutrition in the context of urbanization and rural transformation was released on 2 July and will be presented at the CFS 52nd plenary session in October 2024. This will provide the CFS members with an opportunity to discuss the relevant policy findings of the report and give guidance on the issues to be addressed in the development of CFS Policy Recommendations on this topic.
