Forum global sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (Forum FSN)

This years's SOFI focuses on the multiple dimensions of food insecurity.

This report by the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) collects the perspectives on the 'world we want' from over 1 million people around the globe. For almost one year, people have engaged energetically in 88 national consultations, 11 thematic dialogues, and through the MY World global survey. As member states consult on the shape and content of a successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) beyond 2015, it is hoped that the opportunity to listen to these voices will contribute to reaching consensus on what is needed to move towards a common sustainable future.

It also features recent IPC impacts, results and progress achieved at Regional and Country Level in Asia, Central America, and Africa.

The University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany is organising the International Congress on Hidden Hunger, March 6-9, 2013.

The Congress has three objectives:

1.) To create awareness of the global problem Hidden Hunger.

2.) To get scientific issues on the agenda of policy makers, academicians, politicians and industry.

3.) To discuss solutions to address the worldwide micronutrient deficiencies.

Scientists from different areas, field workers, members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and representatives from administration, management and policy will be invited to discuss the different topics for four days at the University of Hohenheim located in Stuttgart-Plieningen, Germany.

Attention will be given to Africa and Asia as well as North America and Europe. Hidden Hunger is an increasing problem even in the developed countries, whose potential negative consequences on long-term health are often overlooked and underestimated.
