Today, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and partners are hosting a conference under the framework of the UN’s Food Systems Summit, which aims to engage citizens all over the world in order to deliver healthier, more sustainable and equitable food systems, as part of progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The conference on “Pathways for The Future of Sustainable Food Systems in the Mediterranean” aims at advancing a common understanding of the complex environment of food systems in the Mediterranean region, and setting the stage for multi-partner collaboration in transforming them, in order to advance progress towards the SDGs of the UN’s 2030 Agenda.

The Dialogue aims to engage a wide network of partners, from scientific, technical and policy disciplines, to design collaborative scenarios of sustainable food systems in the Mediterranean region, and to consider relevant regional initiatives, programmes, projects and tools. True sustainability needs to take into account every stage of a food system, from production, processing and distribution, to marketing, consumption and waste management, as well as the connections between these stages.
