The food we eat brings us together as families, communities, and nations. It underpins our cultures, our economies, and our relationship with the natural world. The world’s food systems touch every aspect of human existence, which makes them valuable instruments of change.
In light of this year's UN Food Systems Summit, which will bring together voices from every sector of society including civil society, nonprofits and NGOs, government, research organizations, and private organizations to drive impactful, meaningful change for food systems everywhere.
We at UNDP Accelerator Labs are working to better understand the various challenges of our world's food supply chain. From designing a portfolio of experiments to shorten food supply chains and provide local, nutritious, and affordable food to the most vulnerable to finding local solutions to address the growing issue of food waste, food affordability, and its impact on the climate. In addition, our Labs are using new data and new mental models to deeply understand the complexity of food systems while using collective intelligence to design a national dialogue where the voiceless and vulnerable communities finally have a seat at the table.
