Secretary-General's Food Systems Summit

UN Secretary-General António Guterres convenes an historic Food Systems Summit that aims to:

• Raise global awareness and secure global, regional and national commitments and actions that transform food systems to resolve not only hunger, but to reduce diet-related diseases and heal the planet;
• Launch bold new actions to deliver progress on all 17 Sustainable Development Goals, each of which relies to some degree on healthier, more sustainable and equitable food systems;
• Develop principles to guide governments and other stakeholders looking to leverage their food systems to support the SDGs and all that they are founded in, including human rights;
• Bring together key players from the worlds of science, business, policy, healthcare and academia, as well as farmers, indigenous people, youth organizations, consumer groups, environmental activists, and other key stakeholders;
• Call for collective action of all citizens to radically change the way we produce, process, and consume food;
• Awaken the world to the fact that we all must work together to transform the way the world produces, consumes and thinks about food;
• Create a system of follow-up and review to ensure that the Summit's outcomes continue to drive new actions and progress.
