Since 2010, the panel has acted as the science-policy interface for the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS). At the request of the committee, it is working to ensure more informed policy debates, by supplying independent analyses founded on proven data, and advisory services.
Since it was founded, the panel has produced eleven expert reports. Two CIRAD researchers have already participated, as project leaders, in the production of two of those reports:
