The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) adopted the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition (VGFSyN) at its 47th Plenary session in February 2021. The VGFSyN are an inter-governmental and multi-stakeholder negotiated policy tool for use by governments, and their partners to develop appropriate policies, investments and institutional arrangements to address the causes of hunger and malnutrition in all its forms, from a food systems perspective.
The Voluntary Guidelines present a wide range of recommendations to promote policy coherence and reduce policy fragmentation between relevant sectors, including – agriculture, health, and environment – all of which impact and are impacted by food systems. They aim to support the development of coordinated, multi-sectoral national policies, laws, programmes and investment plans to enable safe and healthy diets through sustainable food systems.
The Voluntary Guidelines are a contribution to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and intend to help countries to further operationalize recommendations of the Framework for Action agreed at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) held in 2014.
