WE NEED TO RETHINK THE FUTURE OF FOOD

COVID-19. Conflict. Climate Change. Unprecedented challenges are making it harder for all people to access sufficient, nutritious, and safe food. At the same time, food production for a growing population is damaging the environment and putting increasing pressure on our planet. We need to transform our food systems for people, and planet.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR FOOD SYSTEMS

The climate crisis is negatively impacting all aspects of our food systems – from production to consumption. In the decades to come, we are looking at a 50% increase in food demand and losing around 30% of crop yields due to climate change.
