Start planning#FoodSystems4SDGs countdown to the Summit
With the UN Food Systems Summit fast approaching on we’re kicking off a #FoodSystems4SDGs countdown – 17 days to highlight how transforming our food systems can help the world achieve critical progress on all 17 (SDGs)!
The myriad ways in which we produce, process, and consume food—our food systems—touch every aspect of human existence. Running from September 6 - 22, the countdown campaign will unpack one SDG per day to highlight the relationship between better food systems and making progress across all of the SDGs to build a resilient world where no one is hungry, no one is poor, and no one is left behind.
