What better way to finish off the UNFSS Pre-Summit than to listen to the last episode of the Laying Down Tracks series with guest and UN Secretary-General¡¯s Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit, Dr. Agnes Kalibata. This episode touches on a lot of ground but focuses on the importance of the summit being a ¡°peoples' summit¡± and on the significance of having all voices be part of the Summit process to achieve true food systems transformation and meet all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Whatever problem a country or community is struggling with there is a solution to match. ¡°The fact that too many people are going hungry does not mean that we aren¡¯t producing enough. The challenge is in the inequities that live in our food systems. Through the solution clusters we have been able to mobilize and identify game changing ideas that have been consolidated into 52 solutions,¡± says Dr. Kalibata as she describes how these innovative solutions can help solve specific challenges in Food Systems.
Don¡¯t miss this last episode on the importance of all actors coming together for true food system transformation and learn more about Dr. Kalibata¡¯s journey on how she came to be so passionate about helping bring this change.
