As a partner in the Multi-Stakeholder Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, the International Meat Secretariat (IMS) is pleased to participate in the discussion on the Draft of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition. The IMS represents beef, sheep and pork meat producers around the world and its Committees, including the Human Nutrition and Health Committee and the Sustainability Committee contribute to the development of best practices around the sustainable production and consumption of our products as part of a healthy diet. Our members represent countries that together account for more than 75% of global red meat production and include key global producers of red meat, including Australia and Brazil and as such, play a critical role in contributing to global food and nutrition security.
General comments on the Draft of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition.
We welcome the inclusive approach adopted in the Declaration, in particular, recognition of the need to include all stakeholders, including the private sector, to ensure food and nutrition security is achieved. The agricultural industries operate from paddock to plate and consequently, have the potential to make a meaningful contribution to food and nutrition security by helping to identify opportunities and innovations and facilitating their implementation as part of a multi-stakeholder partnership.
