High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition

Our #MountainsMatter!

They may only cover 27% of the Earth's land surface, but mountains provide freshwater, energy & food - resources that will be increasingly scarce in the coming decades.

Women move mountains & they are vital to conserving these ecosystems.

They contribute to:

🌎 resource management
🌾 agricultural activities
💧 water & food security at household & community levels

& so much more!

Time for a vision exam: diagnosing problems in the pursuit of equitably transformative resilience in food systems Amid intensifying climate change, biodiversity collapse, political instability, and widening inequality, the urgency to reimagine food systems is greater than ever. This commentary builds on the co...

🆕 New commentary out!

Building on the 2025 HLPE-FSN report’s concept of Equitably Transformative Resilience (ETR), resilience must move beyond “bouncing back” addressing root causes of vulnerability for food systems.

Food Security is National Security: Co-Author of Food Price Report Rising food prices are a reminder that Canada needs a strong, sovereign food system, says Dr. Evan Fraser, director of U of G’s Arrell Food Institute

"Food security is national security", says Evan Fraser, HLPE-FSN Steering Committee member.

“Our food sits in the middle of trade disputes, shifts in buying behaviours and ongoing policy change”.

Investing in science for sustainable food systems Insights from the International Science Festival

Podcast picture: In this episode, host Marina Mastrorillo speaks with Tilman Brück of the International Security and Development Center and Antonio Scognamillo of FAO about one of climate-conflict research’s toughest questions: how to distinguish correlation from causation. They unpack endogeneity, overlapping drivers like food security and migration, and the limits of econometrics. The discussion highlights why causal inference matters, when correlations are still useful, and how evidence can better support policy and early warning.

What are the toughest questions in climate-conflict research?

@cgiar.org M. Mastrorillo speaks with HLPE-FSN @tilmanbrueck.bsky.social & @fao.org A. Scognamillo to explore correlation vs causation, overlapping drivers, & the trade-off between precision & timeliness.

HLPE-FSN report #20 This HLPE-FSN report addresses the urgent need to enhance food system resilience amidst escalating environmental, political and economic challenges.

#DYK the new HLPE-FSN report "Building resilient food systems" calls for moving beyond “bouncing back” to bouncing forward?

To ensure food security for all, we must tackle the root causes of vulnerability and drive transformative change.

Evidence-based policy making: for a demand-driven and inclusive approach Formulating more effective food security and nutrition policies requires a deeper understanding of the underlying forces that drive food systems’ changes.

Over 15 years, HLPE-FSN has called for pivotal shifts: a food-systems approach & a broader vision of food security, including sustainability & agency, grounded in the right to food.
Now it’s about action: how do we turn science into inclusive policies?⤵️
