Abstract: Global challenges to food security and nutrition are greater than ever, while the international community has committed to eliminate hunger by 2030. The last SOFI report has shown that world food insecurity rose further in 2021, with up to 828 million people affected by hunger. Conflicts, climate change and socio-economic shocks, including the still-lasting impacts of the COVID-19 as well as poverty and inequalities, including from a gender and generation perspective are still main drivers of food crises. The consequences of the war in Ukraine are adding up to this situation. Solutions need to be urgently designed. In this context, the Chairs of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) and of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will convene on July 18 a High-Level Event to highlight the need of a multistakeholder and coordinated global response to the crisis. Following up on this major event, the main objective of this CFS50 high-level side event proposal would be to identify the priorities of such a response on the four strands of action – trade and transparency, solidarity, production and multilateralism – of the Team Europe response, building up notably on the objectives of Food and Agriculture Resilience Mission (FARM). This response should be fully aligned with the UN Global Crisis Response Group (GCRG) and other relevant international initiatives, notably the G7-initiated Global Alliance for Food Security, as well as the joint vision for 2030 following the 6th EU-AU Summit. The Global Network Against Food Crises will foster the setting of priorities at global, regional and national levels.
