Investing in Food Security in a Global Economy
from 05-May-2009 to 06-May-2009
The number of malnourished people around the world is estimated to have risen to nearly one billion this year as the food, fuel, financial and economic crisis takes their toll on developing countries. How to ensure food security for the world’s poor, as part of a broader concern with feeding the world (9 billion people) in 2050, was the subject of a high-level meeting organised jointly by the OECD (DCD and TAD) and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) on 5 and 6 May 2009 at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris.
