The UN Committee on Food Security is working on new principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment. In our role as secretariat for the Internatiional Agri-Food Network, our team co-ordinates the private sector mechanism input into this process. It will be a long and complicated negotiation. This video produced by the UN explains why the process is important and urges you to join in the discussion, a point driven home by the ever-compelling David Nabarro, Special Representative of the UN Secretary General on Food Security.
