Empowering food systems workers and upholding rights through innovation and collaboration
The UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment took place in Rome, Italy from 24 – 26 July 2023, at the premises of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It was hosted by Italy, in collaboration with the Rome-based UN Agencies (FAO, IFAD, WFP), the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and the wider UN system.
Advancing Equitable Livelihoods, Decent Work and Empowered Communities was listed by the UN Secretary General as one of 5 key areas for future action for making progress on the SGDs. This event highlighted the most vulnerable voices in food systems at the STM and ensured their issues are accounted for in food system transformation. The event highlighted the role the Decent Work for Equitable Food Systems Coalition has, and continues to play in supporting member states to integrate issues around livelihoods in their national pathways.
