The High Level Task Force (HLTF) held its twelfth meeting on 5 February 2010 in New York under the chairmanship of the Secretary-General.
The Secretary-General opened the meeting by stressing that 2010 will be about putting commitments into practice and achieving results in countries. He asked HLTF members to provide updates on the current food security situation and prospects for 2010. Mr. Jacques Diouf, Director-General of FAO and Vice Chair of the Task Force, reported that the overall food security situation has not changed. While the food stocks are being replenished and the oil price is not as high as during the food price crisis in 2008, other factors such as population growth, increasing demand and the impact of climate change remain and could trigger another crisis.
