Food Systems Summit stocktaking moment: Creating the evidence of food systems transformations for SDGs acceleration
Food systems and the SDGs Up to US$ 12 trillion/year hidden environmental, social and economic costs generated by FS Public health costs from unhealthy diets and over-consumption is assessed at US$6 trillion/year one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and up to 80 percent of biodiversity loss come from FS 2/3 of people living in extreme poverty are agricultural workers, etc.
Food systems and the SDGs The food industry is worth about US$ 10 trillion/year, equivalent to 10% of the global GDP The Nexus approach is essential From Problems to Solutions
Connecting the Dots We remain committed to keeping a strong focus on the sustainable transformation of the global agrifood system, aiming for a global system that can deliver sufficient, safe, affordable, nutritious food and healthy diets for all people and provide employment and income, particularly in rural areas, while at the same time fully respecting planetary boundaries in line with the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity and its upcoming post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

Dialogues with Food Systems Convenors Pathways are still centrally positioned. Impact of food crises and cost of living. Sustain advocacy and increase support. More coordination for country assistance. Needs: policy development, thought leadership, advocacy, leveraging finance. Diversity of follow up actions: National food system coordination units; food system labs; specific technical studies; integration into NDPs; monitoring and evaluation etc.
Planning for the Stocktaking Moment of 2023 Modality: Host Country Dates: Three days over the week 24-28 July (TBC and depends on host country) Main objective: Give space to countries to review together with the UN and stakeholders, progress on implementing their pathways, identify bottlenecks and support needed. I will convene a global stock-taking meeting every two years to review progress in implementing the outcomes of this process and its contributions to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. This will be supported by the RBAs, the broader UN System and partners. Outcome: Solidify the global understanding of the role of food systems in achieving the SDGs, especially in the current food and cost-of-living crisis context. -UNSG Statement of Action, FFS
