Welcome to the Northern South America World Food Platform

Food systems in the subregion are shaped by varied climates, coastal and river-based economies, small and medium-scale producers, and growing urban demand. Challenges include climate variability, flooding, infrastructure gaps, informal markets, and limited access to finance and technology for producers. At the same time, Northern South America holds significant potential in sustainable agriculture, fisheries, agroforestry, and value-added processing. The World Food Platform Northern South America provides a coordinated framework to unlock this potential.

The Platform brings together governments, agribusinesses, cooperatives, research institutions, investors, and development partners. It supports collaboration across productivity enhancement, food security, nutrition, logistics, trade facilitation, and environmental sustainability.

By linking local capabilities with regional and global expertise, the World Food Platform Northern South America strengthens resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems that support livelihoods, economic stability, and long-term food security across the subregion.
