The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) 46 was held from 14 – 18 October 2019 with the theme “Accelerating progress on SDG2 to achieve all the Sustainable Development Goals” in recognition of the fact that world hunger is sadly again on the rise. CFS 46 had record attendance with 1,669 attendees.
For the first time, the Committee approved a four-year strategic programme of work (2020–2023), including thematic workstreams on gender equality and women’s empowerment, youth engagement and employment in agriculture and food systems, data collection and analysis tools, and reducing inequalities for food security and nutrition.
