“The entire purpose of the Food Systems Summit is to embrace not only the shared interests of all stakeholders but also – importantly – the areas of divergence on how we go about addressing the harsh reality humanity faces. If we are to build more inclusive food systems, we must be prepared to have inclusive debate. Everyone has a seat at the table.” - Dr. Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the 2021 Food Systems Summit

As a continuation of the civil society webinar series in 2020 and the Action Track Public Forums, the Summit will host a Civil Society Public Forum on 26 March 2021 from 13:30-15:30 CET.

The Forum will have representatives from the Action Tracks and Food Systems Summit Dialogues to share progress and emerging ideas, and next steps in the Summit process. We will have a conversation about building frameworks for action as a part of the Summit engagement, and participants will be invited to reflect on current progress and share their thoughts and feedback.

Civil society has an essential role to play in shaping the transformation towards sustainable food systems and we look forward to you joining us.
