Abstract

Long-term food security and nutrition face serious challenges due to factors such as population growth, environmental pressures, and evolving agricultural
business models influenced by global value chains. Given the global nature of these issues and their public good aspects, a coordinated international response is essential, along with urgent improvements in the global governance of food security. This paper advocates for enhancing the role of the Committee on World Food Security to ensure a more cohesive global strategy that aligns with multilateral trade, financial, and environmental policies.
