Organizers: Agroecology Coalition; Healthy Diets Coalition; Coalition for Action on Soil Health; Food Loss and Waste Coalition
With over 1/3 of the Earth’s surface being degraded, the ecosystems’ ability to produce healthy and nutritious food is limited. A powerful lever, agroecology provides sustainable solutions to issues of soil degradation, climate, biodiversity, food security, and nutrition, including precarious livelihoods and social inequalities, faced by farmers and food system workers.
Featuring country experiences and approaches, this in-person Side Event aims to better understand the linkages between healthy soil and healthy food and the role of agroecology and bio-circular economy in producing food that is healthy for people and the planet. It hopes to inspire actors to take aligned actions, strategies, and policies that embrace integrated approaches and leverage synergies.
This is an official side event to the UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2), taking place on Monday, 24th July 2023. More information on the UNFSS+2 can be found here.
