The Food and Agriculture Organization appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Zero Draft of the Report on water and food security being prepared by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE), and to be presented at its 42nd Session in October 2015. In view of the cross-sectoral nature of the subject, which has linkages with the global goals of the Organization (eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; elimination of poverty through economic and social progress for all; and sustainable management and utilization of natural resources), the Zero draft has been widely circulated within FAO technical units.
We present here a synthesis as FAO’s corporate response to the Zero Draft, alongside more specific comments provided from thematic or regional perspectives.
