The United Nations Food Systems Summit ​(September 2021) is an opportunity to rethink our food systems and launch new actions to transform the way we produce, transform and consume food. This echoes across the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region, giving an impulse to organize a regional dialogue on “Policy and governance issues to transform food systems in Europe and Central Asia”, on 25 May 2021 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CEST.
 
The Regional dialogue is convened to discuss key policy and governance issues related to sustainable food systems, with a focus on the need for strong governance and holistic approaches to build equitable food systems for improved livelihoods and nutritional status of the most vulnerable, and to afford nature-positive production and climate-resilient food systems. The dialogue will facilitate sharing of information and experiences on opportunities, challenges, and appropriate policy actions for sustainable transformation of the food systems in Europe and Central Asia, in the context of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The event will be streamed live here on YouTube in English and can also be followed on Zoom in English and Russian.

The Regional Dialogue is organized by the UN Issue-based Coalition​ (IBC) on Sustainable Food Systems for Europe and Central Asia. Established in April 2020, the main objective of the IBC on Sustainable Food Systems is to support countries to make food systems more sustainable to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. 
Members of the IBC-SFS ​are: FAO, WFP, WHO, UNICEF, UNECE, WMO, UNDP, IFAD.
