EBCAM was invited to attend the launch of the Food Security report by the Kofi Annan Foundation at the ECDPM.

In April 2024, The Kofi Annan Commission on Food Security (KACFS) was launched to confront these challenges head-on. Comprising seven global leaders in food security and governance, the KACFS has created a roadmap to address these systemic failures and redefine how we address one of humanity’s most pressing challenges.
