Meeting of the Food Security Policy Group 
Meeting of the Food Security Policy Group 

In April 2018, the IICA Delegation in Canada officially became an Associate Member of the Canadian Food Security Policy Group (FSPG). The Canadian Food Security Policy Group is a network of Canadian development organizations and charities with expertise in food security and food systems, particularly in a development context. The group conducts shared research, advocacy, and policy dialogue on issues around food security and Canada’s international and agricultural development policies. The FSPG emphasizes the importance of promoting principles of inclusivity and environmental sustainability in Canada`s international development work, through the production of policy briefs, shared projects, and interaction with government officials.

The IICA Delegation in Canada has been attending FSPG meetings as a guest since November 2017, and is very pleased to officially become a member of the group. We look forward to working with the FSPG to promote just, sustainable, and productive agricultural systems in the Americas and around the world.
