Dear FSN Forum Team and HLPE Secretariat,

thank you for the opportunity to submit inputs on this important topic.

We believe that the report should also consider the contribution agroecological approaches, including organic agriculture can offer to build resilient food systems. There is a significant body of peer-reviewed scientific researchavailable on this topic. Below is a list of just a few of these for your consideration for possible inclusion in the report.
