FAO is directly engaged with parliamentarians in Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Africa, through the Parliamentary Front against Hunger and Malnutrition for Latin America and the Caribbean (PFH LAC), the European Parliamentary Alliance "Fight Against Hunger", the Pan African Parliament Parliamentary Alliance for Food and Nutrition Security (PAPA-FSN) and also through initiatives at the national level.
Opening remarks: José Graziano da Silva, Director-General
