07/03/2025

The UN Food Systems Coordination Hub is pleased to announce the launch of a comprehensive questionnaire to gather critical inputs for the Independent Stakeholders’ Report to the UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4).

Taking place in July 2025, the UNFSS+4 will serve as a critical milestone to assess concrete advancements toward more sustainable food systems. The UNFSS+4 will focus on reflecting on progress in food systems transformation at the national and global levels, strengthening accountability and unlocking investment opportunities for scaling impactful solutions for transformative action.

About the Independent Stakeholders' Report

The Independent Stakeholders’ Report will complement the official UN Secretary-General's Stocktake Report, by highlighting the perspectives of non-state actors (NSAs), including producers, consumer organizations, private sector representatives, youth, women, Indigenous Peoples, education and research institutions, workers and trade unions and other food systems stakeholders.

Framed and drafted independently by self-organizing multi-stakeholder constituencies, the report will assess progress, challenges and investment opportunities in food systems transformation. It will also reflect on NSA accountability, by setting out key objectives for different actors of the food systems community against which they will be invited to report at regular intervals.

Your input matters

The information gathered through this questionnaire will:

Directly contribute to the preparation of the Independent Stakeholders' Report
Serve as evidence for shaping the agenda and outcomes of UNFSS+4
Provide constructive critical reflections and recommendations to further raise the ambition of UNFSS follow-up efforts by 2030.

This questionnaire offers the opportunity for stakeholders to share their efforts and experiences in food systems transformation initiatives at local/sub-national, national, regional, and global levels—both within national pathways implementation and in broader initiatives beyond them. Participation ensures that the diverse voices of all food systems actors are included in UNFSS+4 preparations and outcomes.

Submit your response by 27 March 2025

The UN Food Systems Coordination Hub encourages all food systems stakeholders to contribute to this critical assessment of global food systems transformation.

We kindly request that each organization submits only one consolidated response to ensure comprehensive representation of your organizational perspective.
