Background
The UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) garnered global attention to the need to transform our food systems to ensure they contribute positively to people’s nutrition and health, while protecting our planet. Countries submitted national pathways detailing their commitment and strategy towards food systems transformation. GLOPAN, CARE and WHO analyzed the pathways to determine how successfully health, nutrition, gender equality and systemic issues, including environmental and implementation policy actions were integrated into these pathways.
Objectives
This event aims:
- To present a snapshot of how nutrition and health policy actions are integrated in food system transformation while taking a broader systematic approach;
- To share experiences from national conveners to provide an opportunity to learn how nutrition and gender policy action can be successfully integrated in national pathways to ensure they will deliver healthy diets from sustainable food systems for all.
