The articles contained herein were presentedat the International Scientific Symposium Biodi-versity and SUSTAINABLE DIETS : United AgainstHunger organized jointly by FAO and Bioversity In-ternational, held at FAO, in Rome, from 3 to 5 No-vember 2010.

10 The Symposium was part of theofficial World Food Day/Week programme, and in-cluded one of the many activities in celebration ofInternational Year of BIODIVERSITY , 2010. The Sympo-sium addressed the linkages among agriculture, BIODIVERSITY , nutrition, food production, food con-sumption and the environment. The Symposium served as a platform for reaching aconsensus definition of SUSTAINABLE DIETS and tofurther develop this concept with food and nutritionsecurity, and the realization of the Millennium De-velopment Goals, as objectives. In the early 1980s, the notion of SUSTAINABLE DIETS was proposes, with dietary recommendations whichwould result in healthier environments as well ashealthier consumers.
