Report on the ICC Expert Summit on Food Security, Vienna, Austria, 29-30 June 2009
Over 60 ICC delegates and invited experts from 28 countries gathered in Vienna on the 29th and 30th June 2009 to address the issue of food security with the aim of considering the "critical research and development needs for a safe, sustainable and sufficient food and feed supply". The meeting comprised a series of short 'scene-setting' presentations before delegates split into working parties to consider different elements of food security and to develop ideas which could form the basis of suitable research proposals. An ICC Summit Declaration was drafted and will be published shortly. A comprehensive report on the event will be published in QAS – Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods, Volume 1, Issue 3, to appear online shortly at www.icc.or.at/journal/qas.
