Leaning into Food Systems Transformation: Civil Society Experiences in the Independent Dialogues

As a “people’s summit”, the UN Food Systems Summit supports inclusive multi-stakeholder processes and approaches that bring in diverse perspectives, including from civil society organizations, to enable stakeholders to understand and assess potential trade-offs and to design policy options that deliver against multiple public goods across these various systems. This Session is thus being designed to frame the essential involvement of civil society in food systems transformation by unpacking the “hows” emerging from over 700 Independent Dialogues conducted as a part of the Summit process and as a part-framing action for future food systems transformation.
