The 3rd Global Conference of the Sustainable Food Systems Programme aims to provide substantial input to the UN Food Systems Summit that is tentatively scheduled for the third quarter of 2021, building on the achievements of the SFS Programme’s membership during the first five years of implementation as well as the outcomes of the Programme’s previous two global conferences.

The conference is a major milestone in the process for the preparation of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, strengthening cohesion among major initiatives and leading actors in the area of food systems and recommending widely-supported actions to promote sustainable food systems.

The expected outcomes of the conference are:

  • To provide science-based recommendations on the range of actions that can advance food systems transformation within the priority areas identified in the outcome of the 2nd global conference, in contribution to the Action Tracks of the Food Systems Summit 2021; and
  • To provide recommendations that can help define the implementation mechanisms (including accountability mechanisms) for such recommended actions.

In order to achieve these objectives and outcomes, the conference will be a forum in which to present, discuss and consolidate a common understanding of food systems across sectors, in contribution to the UN Food Systems Summit.
