As a global community, we all need to get involved. Governments, the private sector, farmers, academia, civil society and individuals, including youth, need to work together to ensure all people have access to enough diverse, nutritious, affordable and safe foods.
We all have a role to play to tackle inequality and poverty, make healthy food choices to increase their availability, reduce food waste and protect the environment.
