Civil Society Mechanism

The Civil Society Mechanism (CSM) is a global platform that connects non-governmental organizations, advocacy groups, and community representatives to influence international food and agriculture policies. It ensures that the voices of farmers, consumers, and marginalized communities are heard in decision-making processes, promoting policies that are fair, sustainable, and inclusive. The CSM functions as a bridge between civil society and international institutions, fostering collaboration and accountability, and helping to shape policies that benefit society as a whole, especially those most affected by food and agriculture issues.
