Food and nutritional insecurity continues to be a daily challenge for about one billion people around the globe. Sustainable solutions to this challenge involve the use of more appropriate techniques, more equitable institutions, and more efficient value chains linking producers and consumers. The Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) supports applied research in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East. CIFSRF is funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Foreign Affairs Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). Projects are implemented through partnerships between developing-country and Canadian research organizations.
The objectives of the Food Security Dialogue 2014 are to promote CIFSRF projects in Canada, provide a platform for learning exchange between CIFSRF and related projects in Canada, and to discuss the ways in which research can lead to action. To maximize the stated objectives, the dialog will be organized into four broad themes – sustainable agricultural systems, nutritional security, gender and livelihoods, and economics, value chains and policy. The Dialogue will include keynote speakers, roundtable discussions, panels and technical sessions for presentation of selected papers and posters. A summary report and communication briefs of Dialogue proceedings will be produced. Selected presentations from the technical sessions will be considered for possible publication in a journal special issue or book.
