Patrick Caron chairs the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition

02/12/2015 - Article

Patrick Caron, CIRAD Director General in charge of Research and Strategy, has been voted Chair of the High Level Panel of Experts/HLPE on Food Security and Nutrition. The panel is the science-policy interface for the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Numerous CIRAD researchers are heavily involved in the work being done by this body, and two have already participated, as project leaders, in the production of two HLPE reports.

Patrick Caron has been voted Chair of the High Level Panel of Experts/HLPE on Food Security and Nutrition Steering Committee.

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:

  • Price volatility and food security (July 2011), Benoît Daviron (team leader), N. Nango Dembele, S. Murphy, S. Rashid

  • Investing in smallholder agriculture for food security (June 2013), P.-M. Bosc (team leader), J. Berdegué, M. Goïta, J. Douwe van der Ploeg, K. Sekine, L. Zhang
