At the same time, recent reports have shown that food systems contribute to a third of greenhouse gas emissions, up to 80 percent of the loss of biodiversity and use up to 70 percent of freshwater.An important solution for these existing challenges.
A People's Summit focused on solutions for people, planet and prosperity
In the light of these epic challenges, called thousands of people who are called from the local to the worldwide level at the top of the food system.Solution on "to do the transforming effects of food systems for a driver to reach the SDGs by 2030.
