The 53rd Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS 53) will take place from 20 to 24 October 2025 in a hybrid format at FAO Headquarters in Rome, offering opportunities for both in-person and online participation. CFS is the UN’s foremost platform for policy dialogue on food security and nutrition, bringing together governments, civil society, researchers, private sector actors, and UN agencies in one inclusive forum.
This year’s CFS carries the theme ”Making a Difference in Food Security and Nutrition”, reflecting the Committee’s ambition to influence and improve global food systems. The agenda includes the launch of the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) 2025 report, regional dialogues, a panel on Collaborative Governance, and discussions on responsible investment and financing, as well as the intersection of climate, biodiversity, and the right to food.
