53rd Session of the Committee on World Food Security

The 53rd Session of the Committee on World Food Security will highlight three major issues: urbanization, food system resilience and the impact of public policy.

The topics to be covered include the adoption of new recommendations on urban food systems, a forum devoted to responsible investment, and a session on protracted crises. The discussions will also look at key topics such as armed conflicts, nutrition, land governance and the transition to a new committee bureau.
