Factsheet Food Security
Back in the autumn of 2023, the head of ACWFS, Dr Lia van Wesenbeeck, along with two other researchers from the Wageningen University & Research, Judith Jacobs MSc & Dr ir Walter de Boef, were commissioned to write a policy document for the committee on Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.
This paper was an addition to the global food security roadmap of the ministers of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation and of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. The document aims to provide insight into the Netherlands' potential contributions to global food security with the use of public resources and possibilities for the Dutch private sector. With this being an extensive matter, the main focuses of the paper were on (a) which Dutch expertise and knowledge would be most meaningful in use for food security on an international scale, and (b) what is the best course of action from both public and private sectors in the Netherlands to deploy this Dutch knowledge and expertise.
