Following the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) in September, a network of Dutch partners convened to share information on the formal outcomes, as well as outline and discuss the key takeaways and findings for the Dutch government and other stakeholders, together with the expected next steps.
Amongst the topics discussed were the ongoing development of the national dialogues and pathways and how these will be taken forward. The Netherlands' involvement and continued contribution towards five of the UNFSS Coalitions (Zero Hunger, Healthy Diets, Food Loss and Waste, AgroEcology, plus one further coalition, was also reflected upon.
The meeting also included a look forward toward COP26, with a view to the correlation and interconnection between food systems and climate.
