For two days in October 2022, 200 food- and health experts from government, academia, industry, and civil society from 30 countries 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 the 20th of April, we discussed the findings together with a group of bright and insightful thinkers.
