Recommendations of Farmers and fishers’ organisations before G20

As a follow-up to the Brussels Briefing on Food price volatility, held on 30th November 2011 and organised in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the African regional farmer’s organisations who participated at the Briefing, asked the CTA to facilitate their input to the next G20, whose core goal is to increase food production and productivity in a sustainable basis with the aim of promoting food security and foster economic growth.
Subsequently, the CTA, IFPRI and the Mexican Government held discussions as to feature their input, and facilitated with the support of the World Rural Forum the input from the farmer’s and fishers´ organisations worldwide.
