Post-Conference Report Launch:

Healthy Lives from Sustainable Food Systems - Health equity in food system transformation

For two days in October 2022, 200 food- and health experts from government, academia, industry, and civil society from 30 countries across five continents engaged in workshop dialogues and sessions to discuss necessary actions for the transformation of our food systems to promote our and the planet’s health. The summit's objective was to contribute to the dialogue on how to practically follow-up on recommendations from the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, but with a particular emphasis on food systems’ impact on health.

In a webinar on 20th of April, we will discuss the findings together with a group of bright and insightful thinkers. Join us and gain insights into how we transform our food systems to promote human and planetary health with a special emphasis on health equity.
