On the International Day of Parliamentarism, FAO's Lauren Phillips emphasizes the vital role parliamentarians play in achieving global food security and nutrition. They are crucial for shaping laws, policies, and budgets, effectively translating international commitments into tangible progress on the ground.

Through global partnerships, FAO actively supports legislative action, ensuring worldwide pledges lead to concrete results. These efforts will culminate in the Third Global Parliamentary Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition, scheduled for November 2026.
