ICC Expert Summit on Food Security, 29-30 June 2009

Abstract

Over 60 ICC and invited experts from 28 countries gathered in Vienna on the 29 and 30 June to address the issue of food security with the aim of considering the ‘critical research and development needs for a safe, sustainable and sufficient food and feed supply’. The meeting comprised a series of short ‘scene-setting’ presentations before delegates split into working parties (Figure 1) to consider different elements of food security and to develop ideas which could form the basis of suitable research proposals.
