The Food Security Strategy Group is a high-level, non-partisan, and international forum through which a group of leaders and experts—drawn from government, academia, and the private and non-profit sectors—explore pre-eminent food security challenges. The Strategy Group aims to incubate a global set of values through which leaders can influence food security factors and collaborate across sectors and geographies. The critical question to be addressed through this work is: How can we sustainably and equitably feed a growing world population without exceeding the natural resources carrying capacity of the planet?
Dialogue co-chairs include former Secretary of State and Institute board member Madeleine K. Albright; former US Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle; Nigerian philanthropist and Chairman of Heirs Holdings Tony Elumelu; former Secretary of Agriculture and Institute Congressional Program Executive Director Dan Glickman; and former Secretary General, EU Council, and Brookings Institution Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy Javier Solana.
