CFS can add the most value to current initiatives addressing food security and nutrition in the context of urbanization and rural transformation by ensuring the active participation of those who have to live with the consequences of the decisions being made, however, this active participation is NOT possible or sustainable without proper knowledge or education. Hence, the need to link with local universities and/or research centers.
A MAJOR drag on every development effort is the pervasive bureaucratic structure, this restrictive organizational structure can and must be transformed into an expansive organizational structure through the Search Conference and Participative Design Workshop.
