The 53rd Plenary session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS53) will take place from 20 to 24 October 2025 in FAO Headquarters, in Rome. 

CFS plenary sessions enable dialogue among stakeholders; this year, under agenda item IX Fostering Momentum and Commitment for Nutrition: Accelerating Action Towards 2030 and Beyond, members will address key nutrition and food security issues. Discussions will include follow-up to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition, ICN2, and the Nutrition for Growth Summit. Marking the Decade’s tenth year, 2025 is a key moment for the FAO/WHO Secretariat to gather inputs on priorities through 2030 and integration of nutrition in the post-2030 agenda. CFS 53 offers stakeholders the chance to share plans for sustaining momentum and political commitment to nutrition during and beyond the Decade.
