On May 23, 2022, the Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD) hosted a virtual public meeting, The Global Food Security Crisis: Exploring the Evidence Base and Lessons from the Past to Strengthen Agricultural, Nutrition, and Food Systems in the Face of Shocks. This was the first public meeting of BIFAD members appointed by President Joseph Biden on January 14, 2022 and included an introduction to newly appointed BIFAD members, recognition for members whose BIFAD service ended in January 2022, and an overview of BIFAD’s work plan priorities and key upcoming initiatives. BIFAD invited expert panelists and the public to present and take stock of evidence around key questions and to identify weak links in food and nutrition systems that must be strengthened to respond to global food security crises and mitigate the impacts of current and future shocks. Food systems, nutrition, gender, and humanitarian assistance experts shared lessons learned about resilience in the face of these disruptions.
