The University of Vermont is thrilled to announce that Colin Anderson, Co-Director of the UVM Institute for Agroecology and Associate Research Professor in the Department of Agriculture, Landscape and Environment will join the High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) of the United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Anderson will serve as part of the drafting team for an upcoming report on “Building Resilient Food Systems.”\u00a0<\/p>

Colin Anderson remarked, \u201cI\u2019m honored to contribute to this important global process. When we talk about resilience in food systems, it is vital to foreground the root causes that undermine equitable resilience. With a focus on structural change, addressing inequity and by centering the health of people and nature, we can illuminate the pathways towards just transformations in food systems.\u201d<\/p>

Anderson is one of only two US scientists invited to be on the panel and one of only five North Americans. Meeting this week in Rome, the HLPE is the UN body responsible for providing independent, evidence-based scientific analysis to inform global food security and nutrition policy. The panel\u2019s reports play a pivotal role in shaping the agenda of the CFS, directly influencing global discussions on food security and sustainable agriculture. The upcoming “Building Resilient Food Systems” report will be central to the CFS\u2019s program of work for 2024-2027, and is expected to guide policy development at both global and regional levels. \u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe are excited and proud that Colin Anderson has been selected to contribute to this important international endeavor,\u201d said V. Ernesto Mend\u00e9z, Executive Director of the Institute for Agroecology. \u201cThis invitation speaks to Colin\u2019s exceptional scholarship, expertise, and leadership in agroecology, as well as the significant impact of the Institute\u2019s work. We look forward to seeing the valuable contributions that Colin and the HLPE team will make toward advancing resilient food systems globally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

The CFS\u2019s inclusive and transparent process for developing HLPE reports ensures broad engagement with stakeholders, including civil society, indigenous peoples, and policymakers from around the world. Past HLPE reports, such as the 2019 flagship publication on \u201cAgroecology and Other Innovative Approaches\u201d, have been instrumental in advancing global discourse on agroecology and influencing policy frameworks aimed at building sustainable and resilient food systems.<\/p>

UVM\u2019s IfA has long been committed to advancing transformative agroecology through research, education, outreach, and policy work. As a leading voice in the global agroecology movement, the Institute\u2019s mission aligns closely with the HLPE\u2019s focus on fostering more sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems worldwide. Anderson\u2019s participation in the HLPE drafting team reinforces the IfA\u2019s commitment to driving change in global food policy and advancing agroecology in key international debates.\u00a0<\/p>

Anderson expressed the value of his participation for the State of Vermont, \u201cIn the face of growing shocks and stressors from climate change, communities in Vermont and New England are looking for solutions to build equitable resilience. This report will be relevant and linked directly to our work in the region, for example to our\u00a0Leahy<\/a>\u00a0funded work in the Northeast Kingdom where communities are organizing to build resilient food systems to withstand floods and other climate related risks.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
