While undernutrition persists, we are witnessing an unprecedented rise in obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases, also in low- and middle-income countries.

What is wrong with our food systems? How will we feed a growing and urbanizing world population with natural resources that are more and more limited and depleted?

This 2-day symposium will bring together academics, researchers, policymakers, representatives from civil society and private sector, parliamentarians and government agencies to discuss these questions (and many more), and explore pathways to a sustainable future of food and healthy diets for all.

Discussions will revolve around four main areas:

  1. Research, Knowledge Gaps and Needs for Sustainable Food Systems and Healthy Diets
  2. Governance of food systems for healthy diets
  3. Building Consumer Confidence in Food Systems
  4. Transforming Food Systems: What does it take?
