Key principles
The Global Food Security Forum is different from existing communities and platforms in the following ways:
South-oriented:
From global issues to local issues, from local issues to local solutions
- >50% from the Global South
- Mix of global/local themes, and bringing people from the field together with policy makers, the private sector, scholars, innovators and other key stakeholders
Interactive, fact-based dialogue:
Encouraging alternative points of view in an open setting
- Key facts and figures to anchor discussions
- Open-dialogue format with multi-faceted debates
- Multimedia platform and therefore highly interactive
Specific, concrete and pragmatic:
Leveraging best practices from solutions experienced "on-the-ground"
- Significant presence and role of local stakeholders (local NGOs, farmer representatives, etc.)
- Focus on accurately assessing the replicability and scalability of success stories
Impact-driven:
Commitment on initiatives with material impact at regional/local level
- Networking / matching platform
- Key stakeholders to pledge support for key initiatives
