Italian Committee for the Ngo Forum on Food Security

Italian Committee for the Ngo Forum on Food Security

The NGO FORUM on Food Sovereignty will be held from 3 - 9 November 2001, but we still don’t know in which Italian city it will be held.

The Forum will start two days before the “World Food Summit:five years later” (WFS:fyl) convened by FAO (5-9 November 2001).

The Forum is organized by the “Italian Committee”, gathering NGOs from different sectors of Civil Society and working with a Core Planning Committee for the WFS:fyl, made up of NGOs/CSOs.

The Italian Committee has established a Secretariat that can be contacted at the following address:
