The FSM Food Summit is set for March 29-31.
This summit should help stimulate an integrated approach to the development and implementation of food security, safety, quality, nutrition and trade policies, and plans of action that are already in place in the national and state governments.
It will also affirm existing efforts to increase agricultural productivity, to enhance access to healthy and affordable local food, and to bring about behavior change on diet and physical activity, as well as bring innovative approaches to production, processing and regulating, and the trading of food in the FSM.
Specifically, the summit objectives are to highlight the current FSM government commitments to addressing food security, to identify gaps and develop recommendations and action plans, and to pull together the contributions that the FSM delegation will take to Vanuatu for the Regional Pacific Food Summit in April.
