The Committee on World Food Security (CFS): a guide for civil society

This is a guide for civil society organisations (CSOs) to the Committee on World Food Security – known as the CFS. It explains what the CFS is, why it is important, and how civil society organisations worldwide can monitor, influence or get involved in the work of the CFS at the global, regional and the national level. The guide is written in plain language for social movements, community-based organisations (CBOs), civil society (CSOs), and local or international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working on food security and nutrition issues, including food sovereignty and the
right to food, that have little or no knowledge about the CFS. It is designed for those who may want to know more about the CFS, or participate or engage in its work, debates or deliberations.
