ORGANIZER: EAT, World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and World Economic Forum (WEF)
TITLE: Food Systems Dialogues
ROOM: Stora Stjärnrummet, 11th floor
TIME: 08:00 – 13:00
SUMMARY: Food needs to be affordable, safe, nourishing and healthy. It should be produced in ways that reflect the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Although many share a vision of a food system that delivers for all, leaving no one behind, there is a broad range of views on how to make that happen. If we are able to appreciate each others’ points of view and find ways to agree on what should be done, we are in a better position to align our efforts and make a lasting difference together. That is why EAT, WBCSD and WEF have combined efforts to initiate and support Food Systems Dialogues in communities, nations, regions and internationally.
