Food Systems

  • Unser Ziel

    The Wyss Academy for Nature has issued a Declaration on Food Systems as official feedback to the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit. The declaration is the result of the very first Wyss Academy Dialogues with Purpose, a series of workshops in which participants from four regions (Central Europe, East Africa, Southeast Asia and South-America) discussed region-specific challenges with a wide range of global stakeholders, representing the areas of science, policy, civil society and the private sector.

    Das Projekt wurde am 2. August 2021 gestartet und has been concluded.

Zusammenfassung

The declaration calls for a fundamental transformation of economic, social, and financial systems to better align food systems with nature conservation and to foster just relationships between people and nature. Despite significant differences in perspective, participants identified three key opportunities that resonate across all regions: promoting opportunities for youth within the agri-food system, realizing nature-positive and just food production, and bridging the disconnect between consumers and producers in order to achieve fairer food supply chains. To support these shared priorities, the declaration proposes a set of principles and entry points as a foundation for its call to action.
