On the occasion of the G20 Conference on Agriculture Research Development (September 12-13, 2011, Montpellier), CGIAR Consortium Board Chair, Carlos Pérez del Castillo addressed the high-level agricultural meeting.
“Food security for our world is in a state of urgency”, he stated and outlined the need for increased funding, and stronger co-operation and co-ordination in agricultural research for development.
Pérez del Castillo assured the G20 nations that the CGIAR can now be their strongest ally in the task of making “a more food secure future for our world”.
