About the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit

The UN Food Systems Summit was announced by the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, on World Food Day last
October as a part of the Decade of Action for delivery on the SDGs by 2030. The aim of the Summit is to deliver pro-

global challenges such as hunger, climate change, poverty and inequality.
