Co-Organized by IFPRI, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition, City University of London, Rabobank, and EAT Foundation
 

Continued population growth, climate change, rising obesity, and rapid urbanization make the transformation of the global food system more urgent than ever before. The global food system needs to be transformed into one that is driven by sustainability, nutrition, health and efficiency. Comprehensively tracking food system transformation and assessing progress will be essential to ensure continued progress and facilitate learning across countries.

Toward this end, several initiatives have been launched recently to help prioritize investments in food systems, assess policy and institutional support for climate smart practices and sustainable systems, and track the development impacts of food systems.

This multi-stakeholder breakfast event will discuss innovative new tools for a comprehensive tracking system and explore dovetailing of several initiatives to improve synergies and accelerate progress.
