A New Panel Series from Food Tank, IFAD, and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food

Food Tank is partnering with the Champions Network for the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food to bring a series of panel discussions about how to transform the world’s food systems.

Over 80 percent of the human diet is provided by plants, yet only three cereal crops – rice, maize and wheat – provide 60 percent of energy intake, according to the UN. And according to IFAD, 14 percent of the world’s food production is lost before it reaches the consumer – an issue disproportionately affecting developing countries.

This series of virtual panel discussions will bring together more than 25 members of the UN Food Systems Champions Network to address these issues and discuss how to improve biodiversity, protect workers and the environment, reduce waste, and increase access to nutritious foods.

Each conversation will be moderated by Ruth Richardson, Chair of the Champions Network and Executive Director of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, and Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank and help set the stage for the upcoming 2021 UN Food Systems Summit.
