The Advisory Council for Food Security in the Americas comprises specialists who have made significant contributions to the agrifood sector, both in the political and academic spheres. The Council monitors the impact of the new coronavirus on food security in the region, with a view to offering analyses and recommendations to facilitate decision making in the public and private sectors.

It also supports IICA’s technical cooperation, assisting the organization in redirecting its efforts to address the demands of the countries, which have arisen as a result of the pandemic, thereby contributing to the development of a new institutional roadmap.
