An ‘IPCC for Food’?

How the UN Food Systems Summit is being used to advance a problematic new science-policy agenda

In its first report on food systems governance, IPES-Food warns that the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) is being used to advance a new mode of decision-making that could exclude many voices in food systems. A small but influential group of actors has long been demanding the creation of a new panel – an ‘IPCC for Food’ – to streamline decisions on the future of food systems.

IPES-Food experts reaffirm the importance of science-based decision-making, but warn that:

The new panel, as planned, risks imposing a narrow view of science, and shutting down democratic debate.
The new panel undermines the High-Level Panel on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE), which already provides scientific guidance to governments and takes into account diverse knowledge and perspectives from across the food system.
