Committee on World Food SecurityInternational

The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is an inclusive international and intergovernmental platform hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, Italy. Its mandate is to coordinate global policies, foster multi-stakeholder collaboration, and support country-led efforts to achieve food security, improved nutrition, and the progressive realization of the right to adequate food. Established in 1974 following the World Food Conference, the body underwent a major reform in 2009 to integrate civil society and the private sector into its governance processes.
