The UN Committee on World Food Security: An opportunity to counter the ongoing corporate capture of FAO

Abstract

In this letter to the editor, I suggest how the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is a good example within the United Nations (UN) of how to continue urging for human rights based and multilateral decision making in global food governance, especially now when 134 million more people, compared to 2019, cannot access a healthy diet1. Contrary to what the recent article entitled “Is the Committee on World Food Security fit for purpose?”2 , published by Devex, which seems bent towards only pointing out the failures of the Committee, I rather suggest making a case for how the CFS ought to succeed.
