http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/201836/icode/ Director-General opens the International Food Security and Nutrition Civil Society Mechanism (CSM) meeting that will debate a number of key issues during the annual Committee on World Food Security. Over 240 civil society representatives hailing from 175 countries across the world met today at FAO headquarters to begin their annual CSM Forum. During the next two days, these representatives will work to find consensus on key issues to be discussed in next week's plenary meeting of the FAO's Committee on World Food Security (CFS). "Social movements and civil society organizations played a key role in driving the reform of the Committee on World Food Security to make it into the main and most inclusive international and intergovernmental platform for policymaking on food security and nutrition within the United Nations," Graziano da Silva said. Graziano da Silva continued, "because of this, the reform of the CFS is considered a highly successful experience, and it can and should show the way forward for replicating and deepening inclusive processes for multi-stakeholder dialogue in other United Nations fora." © FAO: http://www.fao.org
