Ensuring a better future of food and our planet by transforming food systems.
Business-as-usual is no longer an option. The future of food is at stake.
We are facing a breakdown of critical systems on multiple fronts — the pandemic, climate change, and rising hunger. Each of these challenges is tied to fragile food systems that degrade the environment and undermine public health. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Food systems transformation can provide brilliant pathways to a better future.
