The 2021 Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) positioned food systems as a driving force for accelerating progress towards the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It spearheaded a new way of working, across sectors through a systems approach, fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders – including governments, civil society, the private sector, youth, women, and Indigenous Peoples – to address interconnected challenges such as food insecurity, the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, as well as social inequality. To foster continued political commitment and accountability, the Secretary-General committed to convening a global stocktake every two years.
