Series of FAO agriculture reports

The FAO produced a series of documents in the run up to the food security High Level Expert Forum held in Rome on 12-13 October 2009.

This report argues that the required increase in food production can be achieved if the necessary investment is undertaken and policies conducive to agricultural production are put in place. But increasing production is not sufficient to achieve food security. It must be complemented by policies to enhance access by fighting poverty, especially in rural areas, as well as effective safety net programmes.

The series of documents are available below.
