In a context of growing hunger and accelerating climate and biodiversity crises, the 300-member Agroecology Coalition launched an ambitious strategy to rapidly accelerate the transition to sustainable agroecological food systems by 2030 at an event hosted by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and attended by pioneering governments, international agencies, scientific groups, and civil society organizations.

The open-access book, Science and Innovations for Food Systems Transformations, focuses on the just, equitable, and sustainable transformation of food systems within the context of the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) and UNFSS + 2. The volume has resonated widely, with over one million clicks since its publication.

On 12 July, the Hub, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the European Union, and South Africa will convene a side event at the UN Headquarters in New York. This event, “The catalytic role of policy integration and inclusive governance for food systems transformation and SDG acceleration”, will occur in Conference Room 9 from 13:15 to 14:30 (held in New York time).
