Ceres2030, a joint project by Cornell University, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), will be holding a side event during the upcoming Committee on World Food Security 46 in Rome.
The side event will be held in the Iraq Room at FAO on Monday October 14, 2019, from 1-2:30 PM local time. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
The panel discussion will be devoted to how Ceres2030 - a project bringing together cost modelling and evidence syntheses - can be used in assessing the cost of ending hunger and what the evidence tells us about effective interventions for doing so. The event will focus particularly on the subject of post-harvest losses in this context. A full abstract is available on the CFS website.
The panel line-up currently includes:
- David Laborde, Senior Research Fellow, Markets, Trade and Institutions Division, IFPRI
- Maximo Torero, Assistant Director General, Economic and Social Development Department, FAO
- Esther Penunia, Secretary General of the Asian Farmers' Association for Sustainable Rural Development
- Phyllis Mends, Minister Counsellor / Alternate Permanent Representative to FAO, WFP, & IFAD, Ghana Embassy in Italy
- Brighton Mvumi, Lecturer/Researcher at University of Zimbabwe
- Sophia Murphy, Senior Specialist, Agriculture, Trade and Investment, IISD
