There are many ways in which trade agreements and rules may influence food security both positively and negatively.  The relationship is complex and views about the effect of trade rules and agreements on food security vary substantially. What is your experience? How have trade agreements and rules affected the four dimensions of food security? And how can coherence between food security measures and trade rules be ensured?

The aim of this discussion is to share perspectives on actual and potential links between street food vending and urban and periurban agriculture and horticulture, analyzing if and in which way such links may represent the basis for possible strategies to enhance food security in urban areas. 

Through this discussion we wish to promote dialogue around family farming issues. What can be done to make agriculture stimulating and profitable for young people and what strategies can promote equality for females working in the food system? 

The degree to which the Food Security and Nutrition information produced is actually used by decision makers, and influences policy making, remains unclear. Through this discussion we would like to explore the factors that contribute to our evidence and knowledge actually being used in policy making processes.

To follow up on two rounds of online discussions on the draft Declaration of the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) held earlier this year, we now invite you to share your comments and inputs on the zero draft of the Framework for Action (FFA). This open consultation gives you an opportunity to contribute to the Conference and to its outcome.

The aim of this forum’s discussion, organized jointly with the ICEAN network, is to identify potential action points and initiatives whereby nutrition education can improve the diet of family farmers and create demand for nutritious local produce among the general public, thus both generating income for farming households and enhancing the nutrition of the public.

10 years ago FAO member states produced and adopted The Right to Food Guidelines, which provide practical guidance on how the human right to adequate food can be realized. The goal of this online discussion is to learn from the first ten years of using the Right to Food Guidelines to get better for the future.

In the context of the International Year of Family Farming, this discussion targets those active in family farming who have suggestions on how to improve livelihoods of female farmers and how to encourage youth to pursue family farming.

Share your comments on the revised draft of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition, which will be endorsed at the upcoming Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2).

تعد الأزمات الممتدة من بين السياقات الأكثر تحديا التي يتم من خلالها  التصدي لانعدام الأمن الغذائي وسوء التغذية. وفي عام 2010، انتهت لجنة الأمن الغذائي العالمي إلى أن الأزمات الممتدة  تحتاج إلى عناية خاصة. وقد تم إطلاق عملية تشاورية من أجل صياغة وضمان ملكية برنامج العمل المعني بالتصدي لانعدام الأمن الغذائي في الأزمات الممتدة. وتهدف هذه المشاورة الإلكترونية إلى الاستفادة من التعليقات والمدخلات التي تم تلقيها حتى وقتنا هذا من خلال توفير فرصة للأفراد والمنظمات التي لم تتمكن بعد من المشاركة في الاجتماعات الفعلية.
