Resumen
Descripción
This report describes the initial outcomes of a process of exceptionally strong and cohesive action by the development community to curtail the immediate impact of the global food crisis. The establishment of the FAO Initiative on Soaring Food Prices (ISFP) in late 2007 was an early recognition of the seriousness of the situation. It was followed by the appointment of the United Nations High-Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis (HLTF) and the development of the Comprehensive Frame work for Action (CFA), the High-Level Conference organized by FAO in June 2008, the G8 Summit in Japan in July 2008 and the Special Session of the FAO Conference in November 2008, together with a range of other public and private crisis response initiatives, which, collectively, have laid the foundation for possible reform of the governance of world food security.
