Abstract

Since the world food crisis of 2008, food production has been given a higher profile and increased investment in many countries. Private and public sectors are finding new ways to work together on food security issues. Canadian ingenuity and optimism, in collaboration with overseas research partners and in cooperation with Canadian universities and the private sector, is making a difference in addressing food security realities. One of Canada’s key contributions is through the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF), launched in 2009 by Canada's International Development Research Centre and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.
