Climate goals cannot be achieved without a fundamental shift in how we produce, consume and waste our food. Transforming food systems presents a 'win-win' for policy-makers to meet the critical international commitments to reduce GHG emissions at the same time as addressing hunger and all forms of malnutrition, promoting health, improving resilience and advancing equitable livelihoods.
This event will convene leaders in conservation, nutrition, and food systems innovation to highlight some of the most critical game changing solutions needed to transform food systems, elevate the importance of food systems to the global agenda for climate and nature, and to translate commitments into action to achieve systems-level change we need for a sustainable food future.
