The UN Global Compact released a report, Scaling Up Global Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture, in advance of the Rio+20 Corporate Sustainability Forum, to be held 15-18 June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The report highlights leading-edge practices being implemented by Global Compact participants around the world, in concert with governments and civil society, to dramatically improve food security and sustainable agriculture – seeking to contribute to a future with zero hunger. The report is aimed to inspire a broader movement of all relevant sectors and industries towards a more food-secure and sustainable future. Five essential components are profiled as the most salient issues requiring innovative and collaborative engagement of the global food and agricultural industries: sustainable sourcing; improving land and water management; enhancing nutrition; effectively using technology; and reducing commodity price volatility.
