Improving food security and nutrition is critical to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, but the world is not on track to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030. How can we accelerate progress in transforming our agri-food systems to meet the needs of the hungry and malnourished? This global learning event will bring together decision makers, practitioners, researchers, and other stakeholders from around the world to:

  • highlight success stories and lessons learned
  • explore new ideas and innovations to disrupt business-as-usual
  • identify opportunities to scale up successful actions
  • catalyze cross-sectoral learning and cooperation
