Priorities France put agriculture and food security at the heart of the G20 priorities.The Cannes Summit: What Outcomes? http://www.g20.utoronto.ca/2011/2011-g20-france-outcomes.html French Presidency of the G20 6 June 2014 live https://web.archive.org/web/20140606223243/http://www.g20.utoronto.ca/2011/2011-g20-france-outcomes.html 6 June 2014 Around this broad theme, it divided the priorities of the Summit into six areas: Reform the International Monetary System. Strengthen financial regulation, especially in non-banking financial institutions as well as regulation concerning financial market integrity and transparency. Reduce excessive commodity price volatility and enhance food security. Support employment and strengthen the social dimension of globalization. Fight corruption, for example by ensuring that the Anti-Corruption Action Plan adopted in the 2010 G20 Seoul summit will produce concrete results and real progress starting in 2011. Support infrastructure development and enhance food security in the most vulnerable countries. Outcomes The Summit took place in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and in the midst of the evolving Euro area crisis. Against this background, the outcomes of the Summit can be considered as insufficient in providing clear solutions for restoring and strengthening the global economy. However, the Summit did result in a number of initiatives, most notably in the area of agriculture and food security. Especially the launch of the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) and the endorsement of an Action Plan on Food Price Volatility and Agriculture are tangible steps to addressing the world agriculture and food challenge. The G20 Summit also tasked the GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring (GEOGLAM) initiative to produce and disseminate improved forecasts of agricultural production through the use of earth observations.

Though police reported 5,500 were part of the protests, the organisers estimated the number of protesters at 12,000. The riot police and helicopters limited the scope of the protests to a neighbourhood in the east of Nice, which was to host the alternative summit as well as the protests. Both Cannes and Nice also tightened security, with 12,000 police personnel being deployed.Angelique Chrisafis in Nice https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/01/anti-g20-protests-confined-nice Anti-G20 protests confined to Nice as police seal off 'fortress Cannes' | World news The Guardian 1 November 2011 2011-11-04 London live https://web.archive.org/web/20131001063916/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/01/anti-g20-protests-confined-nice 1 October 2013 See also 37th G8 summit References 30em External links Official website G20 website of the OECD G20 Information Centre Graphic: G20 is not simply the 20 largest economies Politics France 2011 Category:2011 diplomatic conferences Category:2011 in France Category:2011 in international relations Category:Diplomatic conferences in France Category:History of Cannes Category:November 2011 in France Category:Organised events in Cannes
