HLPE-FSN Steering Committee members participate in their individual capacities and not as representatives of any institution.
The experts were appointed by the Bureau of the CFS, following a call for nominations and a proposal by an ad hoc technical selection committee comprised of members of FAO, IFAD, WFP, CGIAR and CSIPM.
