In order to review progress against commitments and actions taken during the UNFSS towards more sustainable food systems, a global stocktaking meeting every two years should be organised. The first Stocktaking Moment took place in July 2023. A further stocktaking moment (+4) will be organised in July 27–29, 2025, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The report of the General Secretary to the Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS + 2) gives an overview of activities performed since 2021. In his Call to Action to accelerate food systems transformation, six priorities are defined:

• Incorporating food systems strategies into all national policies;
• Improving food systems governance;
• Investing in research, data, innovation and technology capacities;
• Deepening joined-up participatory design and implementation of context and place-based actions, inclusive of women, young people and indigenous peoples;
• Promoting increased engagement of businesses to shape the sustainability of food systems and establish and strengthen accountability mechanisms;
• Ensuring access to short and long-term concessional finance, investments, budget support and debt restructuring.
