UN Food Systems Summit

September 23, 2021

About the event

Over the past 18 months, the Summit has brought together all UN Member States and constituencies around the world – including thousands of youth, food producers, Indigenous Peoples, civil society, researchers, private sector, and the UN system – to bring about tangible, positive changes to the world’s food systems. As a people’s summit and a solutions summit, it has recognized that everyone, everywhere must take action and work together to transform the way the world produces, consumes, and thinks about food.

The UN Food Systems Summit will culminate this inclusive global process, offering a catalytic moment for public mobilization and actionable commitments by heads of state and government and other constituency leaders to take this agenda forward.

The Summit will follow the three-day Pre-Summit gathering in Rome last week (July 26-28), during which Amina J. Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General, outlined the expectations for the Summit, which include:

  • A statement of action from the UN Secretary-General
  • A compendium of the Summit’s two-year preparations
  • National dialogues and pathways for food systems to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030
  • Coalitions cutting across the five Action Tracks and incorporating the four Levers of Change around key areas
  • A follow-up and review process supported by the UN and its agencies
