“The agrifood system is everything that is connected to food and agriculture. And what's really important, and why we call it a system, is that it's interconnected. So that means, for example, that if we want to grow fruits and vegetables in order that people eat healthier, we have to think not just about growing the vegetables, we have to think how they get to people.”

“The agrifood system is exhausted. How can anything that's exhausted provide solutions? So, the frustration here, the challenge here, is that the potential power of the agrifood system to provide these solutions isn't there until we transform the agrifood system to make it stronger and to help it provide the solutions we know it can provide".

STORYLINE
Around 2000 participants from over 160 countries, including over 20 Heads of State and Government, will attend the UN Food Systems Summit+2 Stocktaking Moment at the FAO headquarters in Rome on 24-26 July. FAO
Factors such as population growth, urbanization, changing consumption patterns, and climate change are challenging our agrifood systems' ability to provide nutritious food and sustainable livelihoods for all.
To address these challenges, the world needs a holistic and sustainable approach that considers economic, social, and environmental factors, and for people to come together, according to the Director of the FAO Division of Food Systems and Food Safety, Corinna Hawkes.
Ahead of the UN Food Systems Summit+2 Stocktaking Moment, which will bring a space for countries to review commitments to action made during the first Summit in 2021, Corinna Hawkes takes us through the basic concepts of agrifood systems and to explain what is at stake at the international event.
