Food Systems Partnership

💬 For food, the final #GlobalStocktake decision text recognises the importance of building resilient food systems within adaptation – but there is a missed opportunity on mitigation. Our response to the final #COP28 agreement outlines the wins, the missing pieces and what needs to happen next ✊📢 Read in full: docs.google.com/document/d/1Cp…

What were the outcomes for #ActionOnFood at COP28 – and where do we go from here? 🤔 @lu_wallace, who led the Secretariat for the Food Systems Pavilion at COP28, discusses in @NewFoodMag - with comments from @mosa_meat 🔗newfoodmagazine.com/article/197259…

@clemetivier @ActionOnFood @WWFLeadFood @orladwyer_ @GAViglione @futureoffoodorg @CosquerRic @FOLUCoalition @IPESfood @Plant_Treaty @ProVeg_Int And local farmers remain at the bottom line of the food production chain...... This therefore requires us to prioritize #soilhealth & #climate change to ensure sustainable food production. Cc @ca4sh_global @ICLEI @ActionOnFood @Icle

🌽The issue of #FoodSystems was high on the agenda at #COP28 ✅The transformation of the way food is produced & consumed was finally recognized as a key solution to tackle the #ClimateCrisis. ❗️But much more is indeed to build & support healthy & resilient food systems.

#COP28 has placed #FoodSystems front & centre of the climate fight. That must be celebrated, but it must also translate into urgent & adequately financed action on the ground, explains @FOLUCoalition's @morgan_gillespy. "Incremental & underfunded steps are not an option."

How can #BlueFoods contribute to climate mitigation? Countries can enforce carbon mitigation requirements for aquaculture & fisheries, promote shifts toward culturally appropriate and nutritious blue food diets, & adopt circular economies. Read more: bit.ly/COP28BF

'This COP, we've seen a huge amount of interest from media in speaking to frontline food producers + farmers. We've also seen a shift and growth in collaboration across the food systems community to call for change.' Sunita Ramani reflecting at the Food Systems Pavilion today 🤝🌍 #ActionOnFood

@EnvDefenseFund @YPARD @LucianoGlindys @EITFood @PapasideroNadia "The food systems community is growing, we're strong, and we're influencing negotiations." 📢 @lu_wallace on being hopeful for the future and continuing our collaboration post-COP 🙌

"We seem to be one happy family now, but it doesn't always start that way." @EnvDefenseFund's Jennifer Chow reminds the food systems community of our shared goals and the need to put collaboration above individual agendas 🤝 #ActionOnFood

"We have brought many along with us, but there are many more we should bring along with us" ✊ @trinidad1949 of @CGIAR highlighting the need to push for even better inclusion in food systems dialogues at our closing event 🙌

The 150+ Leaders who signed the “Food & Climate #COP28 Declaration” should tell their negotiators that @UNFCCC must now match reality as Ministers @Ilde_Musafiri & @hmkpaka said 👉be ambitious on #foodsystems or the poor&smallholders will pay highest price! @EAFFinfo @WWFLeadFood

#FoodSystems governance at all levels, from local to global, need to be more inclusive and participatory, systematically engaging #consumer and #FamilyFarmer voices not just on a consultative basis, but as a genuine driver of decision-making. #WRFatCOP28

As #COP28 draws to a close, we are reflecting on the present and future food systems we need. #ActionOnFood has risen up the agenda at COP thanks to the collaboration shown by all of our partners and supporters 🤝🌍
