The way we produce, transport, consume and waste food is destroying nature, degrading soil, and polluting air and water. It powers climate change, accounting for around one-third of humanity\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social inequality and violations of human rights are widespread. Malnutrition and obesity are both major killers. And while we <a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/food-supply\">produce more food<\/a> than ever, the UN <a href=\"https:\/\/nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fao.org%2Fdocuments%2Fcard%2Fen%2Fc%2Fca9692en%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7CAmber.Milne%40thomsonreuters.com%7C3cd5a7109d044d6fae9c08d946a0f7ec%7C62ccb8646a1a4b5d8e1c397dec1a8258%7C0%7C0%7C637618479436499086%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=amtudUer%2B7Os5OXDHCvbLpymCnXngCKvWZ%2FXEHa%2FIPU%3D&amp;reserved=0\">reported<\/a> in July 2021 that 811 million people still go hungry each day. That\u2019s more than one in every ten people. Perversely, most are farmers and their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, on the face of it, it is good news that the UN will host a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/food-systems-summit\/\">Food Systems Summit<\/a> on 23 September. It aims to accelerate the transformation of these systems so they provide nutritious food for all, are good for people and nature, help fight climate change and boost resilience to environmental and economic shocks. But lift the lid on the summit process and you will find a hot stew. Stakeholders are deeply divided about how to fix the food system, and many have big concerns about the summit itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-critiques-and-boycotts\">Critiques and boycotts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres announced the meeting in October 2019, to boost progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It got off to a rocky start. The UN <a href=\"https:\/\/foodsov.org\/148-groups-worldwide-urge-un-to-sever-partnership-with-wef\/\">upset many<\/a> civil society and farmers\u2019 groups by <a href=\"https:\/\/weforum.ent.box.com\/s\/rdlgipawkjxi2vdaidw8npbtyach2qbt\">partnering<\/a> with corporate powerhouse, the World Economic Forum. Guterres compounded this by appointing as his special envoy Agnes Kalibata, president of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, a promoter of high-tech commercial seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summit planners also bypassed a key UN body, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). It has 125 member countries, mechanisms through which civil society groups, indigenous people and the private sector take part, and a scientific advisory body \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/cfs\/cfs-hlpe\/en\/\">High Level Panel of Experts<\/a>. But the summit team initially left the CFS out in the cold. It formed its own Scientific Group and appointed leaders of five \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/food-systems-summit\/action-tracks\">action tracks<\/a>\u201d \u2013 to generate \u201cgame-changing propositions\u201d for each of the summit\u2019s main themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics are legion. They include hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsystems4people.org\/about-2\/\">NGOs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fsufs.2021.661552\/full\">academics<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/Documents\/Issues\/Food\/Policy_brief_20210819.pdf\">UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food<\/a> (and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipsnews.net\/2021\/03\/un-food-systems-summit-not-respond-urgency-reform\/\">his two predecessors<\/a>), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthysocieties2030.org\/open-letter-un-food-systems-summit\">scientists, including summit action track members<\/a>. In July 2021, thousands of people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csm4cfs.org\/thousands-mobilize-to-call-for-food-systems-that-empower-people-not-companies\/\">attended<\/a> a counter-forum held by organisations boycotting the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-1800x1200.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pre-Food-Systems-Summit_4794e4814e_o-scaled.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"Pre-Food Systems Summit\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J.

They say its various modes of participation are a smokescreen that will enable corporations to exert greater control over food systems and the UN itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN rejects this. It has stressed that the summit\u2019s formal leadership structures include no companies, only business networks. It points out that more than 100,000 people have taken part in 147 country-led and 900 independent multi-stakeholder <a href=\"https:\/\/summitdialogues.org\/\">dialogues on food system transformation<\/a>, whose outcomes are publicly available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representatives of smallholders, indigenous peoples, youth and women have all been involved in the summit action tracks, generating a <a href=\"https:\/\/afsafrica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/afsa-letter-on-the-food-systems-summit_25-may-2021-2.pdf\">greater share of ideas for improving food systems<\/a> than private sector participants. These groups also had prominent roles in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/food-systems-summit\/pre-summit\">pre-summit<\/a> in July. Many praised the degree of consultation and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a seat at the table does not mean equal power. And participants \u2013 including Anne Nuorgam, chair of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues \u2013 have expressed concern about a lack of clarity about who is deciding the summit outcomes. In August, the chair of the summit\u2019s \u201cgovernance action area\u201d resigned, citing concerns about the transparency and accountability of decision-making in the summit process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science versus systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit\u2019s content is also contested. There is a strong focus on increasing production and resilience by boosting the development and uptake of technologies \u2013 from biotech crops and precision farming to nanoparticle coverings that extend the shelf-life of produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there has been less attention on fundamentally redesigning food systems by addressing structural barriers such as access to finance, legal recognition of land tenure and corporate policies that lock poor farmers into problematic modes of food production. Western science holds sway while traditional knowledge developed over millennia remains at the margins, despite growing calls for its integration into policy advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics say the focus on science and innovation over systemic change promotes the corporate agenda of high-input intensive agriculture for export markets, rather than diverse and resilient local food systems. This flashpoint is particularly visible around agroecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is growing evidence that this mode of farming \u2013 which applies ecological principles \u2013 can boost incomes and food security, while enhancing biodiversity, storing carbon and increasing farmers\u2019 resilience. These are all the things the summit is setting out to promote. But advocates of agroecology had to fight for a place on the agenda of July\u2019s pre-summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When 10 countries including Costa Rica and Switzerland signed a letter demanding this, they had to wait weeks for a positive response. They were disappointed when \u2013 just a few days before the pre-summit \u2013 they were given an evening side-event slot competing with 17 parallel sessions. Despite this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lcOc1eygCAo\">the agroecology event<\/a> had the greatest overall attendance, in-person and online, of all pre-summit events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agroecology was also prominent in many of the solutions proposed through the summit action tracks and dialogues. But its supporters say it is being undermined by misinformation campaigns backed by vested interests in high-input farming, who see rising support for agroecology as a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-1800x1200.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/An-agroecology-project-in-Thailand_GP0STRLKS-scaled.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 999px) 1024px, (max-width: 1400px) 1400px, (max-width: 2000px) 2000px, 2560px\" alt=\"An agroecology project in Thailand\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">An agroecology project in Thailand.

This focus on systems should improve coordination among government ministries and help policymakers join the dots between food, climate change and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate change in particular has featured strongly in the ideas emerging from the summit\u2019s action tracks and dialogues. There was less of a focus on reducing fossil fuel use and more on increasing carbon storage through agroforestry and regenerative agriculture, reducing methane emissions from rice-fields and livestock, and increasing farmers\u2019 resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is, however, no formal mechanism linking the summit to the UN negotiations on climate change and biodiversity \u2013 which have both tended to overlook food and agriculture. To help address this, the <a href=\"https:\/\/futureoffood.org\/\">Global Alliance for the Future of Food<\/a> is launching a programme to advise a diverse group of countries on how to better incorporate food systems in their actions under the Paris Agreement on climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-cd-related-news alignright block--related-news loading\" data-post-id=\"72803\"><div class=\"block--related-news__image\"><\/div><div class=\"block--related-news__content\"><span class=\"block--related-news__heading\">Recommended<\/span><span class=\"block--related-news__title\"><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>At the summit itself, Secretary-General Guterres will make a statement outlining priority ambitions to achieve by 2030, focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/foodsystems.community\/game-changing-propositions\/\">15 areas for action<\/a> the summit process has identified. The UN is also set to endorse a subset of the many coalitions proposed during the process, such as those on agroecology, food waste, resilience and school meals. Significantly, some 80 countries that have held dialogues are expected to announce pathways for transforming their food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit will kickstart a process, during which member states \u2013 with support from UN agencies \u2013 will refine and implement their strategies for transforming food systems, individually and through coalitions. A stock-take in 2023 will assess progress and set ambition for full implementation by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the summit to succeed, these pathways must be truly transformative. This means changing not only the parts of the food system that involve food itself, but also the regulatory, financial and administrative systems that underpin it. Countries and coalitions must resolve the tensions exposed over the past two years \u2013 addressing power imbalances between smallholders and big business, taking account of traditional knowledge alongside science in policy development, and ensuring transparency and accountability in decision-making and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The multi-stakeholder dialogues that some countries plan to continue after the summit must ensure marginalised groups can participate effectively. Genuine deliberation towards consensus among diverse interests means give and take on all sides. But so far there is little indication of what the corporations that dominate the food system, and have contributed much to its failings, are willing to concede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With tensions high, summit insiders insist they are listening to their critics. They acknowledge that food is highly political and that not everyone is happy with every aspect of the summit, its participants and processes. They stress that nobody is excluded from taking part and urge the boycotters to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sg\/en\/content\/dsg\/statement\/2021-07-28\/un-deputy-secretary-generals-remarks-the-closing-plenary-of-the-pre-summit-for-the-food-systems-summit-delivered\">reconsider engaging<\/a> or risk further marginalisation.
