The unique positioning of many civil society organisations (CSOs), including nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), as mediators between government authorities, consumers and vulnerable groups means they can be key players in upholding the right to enough affordable, nutritious and safe food for all. Through advocacy, empowerment, collaboration, monitoring, and education, CSOs play a key role in creating a food secure future.

CSOs can empower women by providing training and resources specifically targeted at women working in agrifood systems, advocating for policies that support women's land ownership and access to credit, and creating platforms for women to share knowledge and experiences. They can also raise awareness about the importance of gender equality and work to dismantle discrimination or structural barriers that hinder women's full participation in agrifood systems.
